Minha opinião: Um filme que nos viajar no tempo, pois morei no Japão de 1991 a 2000. E assistir a este filme me levou a relembrar vários momentos vividos lá. Um filme também que é uma das ultimas obras Brittany foi ela falece um ano após, no auge de sua carreira. Após filmes de sucesso; Recém Casados, Garota Interrompida, Grande Menina Pequena Mulher, As Patricinhas de B. Hills,..... Neste filme ela foi para o Japão por causa de um caso que ela tem. Chegando no Japão ele a deixa pois vai para outro lugar. Deixando ela no apartamento em Tokyo. Ela estando lá se sente atraída por um Ramen Ya ou Restaurante de Ramen. Ela começa a frequentar até que pede emprego. Os donos não falam nada de inglês, e no filme todo. Tendo a barreira do dialeto sendo um dos empecilhos da comédia que é bem feita. E o jeito desajeitado e amoros de Brittany deixa o patrão ainda mais irado. Com boas interpretações dos atores e até o enredo onde um não entende o outro fica bem feito. Até o momento que Brittany sonha em ser uma chef de Ramen. Ela luta e se esforça mas não agrada. Após muita luta e auto descoberta, decobre que o problema esta no seu intimo, e no momento que ela libera, ela consegue. E abre seu próprio restaurante nos EUA. Roteiro e enredo boa Vale apena assistir? Sim Nota: 7,5

Vapid, innocuous and generally forgettable movie with minimalistic plot without much acting ability displayed by anyone; however, it was harmless enough to stomach during the 1.5 hour runtime.

A good movie for a Sunday afternoon. I thought it was not bad and memorable after several years since my last view. I think it would pair well with Lost in Translation.

I forget how delightful of a The Ramen Girl is. Oh sure, it won't win an Oscar. But for mid-week low-effort enjoyment this movie fits the bill. Totally worth my 4 stars.

The premise was great, and with respect to the late Ms Murphy, wanted to like this film, but it was all I could do to make it through to the end. Truly cringe-worthy dialogue and acting; among the worst ever delivered anywhere - not exaggerating - and Ms Murphy delivered the worst of it. Truly a disaster. Just one of many scenes, where she overtly mocks the chef for crying over photos of his son, then turns around and asks wife, "what's wrong?" Truly bad film scripts and acting beyond all description. Really deserves a reboot by an even remotely capable production. Could be a gem of a film. I want to see the film this could have been. Everything other than premise was really poorly done. Director, actors, timing, dialogue, some worse than others at times, and some excruciatingly bad at times... there was little good to say about this film. Badly needs a remake from an even remotely capable production. File this under "Film 101 - How to Ruin a Solid Film Plot"

It's lovely and sweet and just gosh darn huggable, and if the plot trips up along the way, we're easy to forgive.
