be a long time fan of japanese film and i expect more than this . i can not really be bother to write to much and a this movie be just so poor . the story might be the cut romantic little something ever and pity i couldn not stand the awful acting and the mess they call pacing and and the standard quirky japanese story . if you have notice how many japanese movie use character and plot and twist that seem too different and forcedly so and then steer clear of this movie . seriously and a 12 year old could have tell you how this movie be go to move along and and that not a good thing in my book . fan of beat takeshi represent his part in this movie be not really more than a cameo and and unless youre a rabid fan and you do not need to suffer through this waste of film . negative .
