Audience Member a surprisingly fun, and smart, screwball comedy from japanese ! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting that they have so many foreign movies listed.. This movie was one of those "what on earth is happening?!" movies.. until the very end, when it is all made clear! Very good :) Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member [2009.10.20 DVD] "People who are royal to their desires are attractive" Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Quite light-hearted and funny at times. And the way it's filmed was quite interesting. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member This is one of those films that uses the device of repeating scenes from different perspectives to embellish a simple story and it does it in spectacular fashion. There are a couple lonely hearts, a couple con artists and a very well-mannered Yakusa boss who all intermingle over the course of one evening and a suitcase full of money. The scene where the Yakusa boss hiding under a bed sees only the shy dance of feet of the initial interaction between the two lonely hearts that we had seen earlier from a different perspective is one of the most hilarious and sweet scenes I've witnessed in a while. It's all handled in a lighthearted and charming manner. The film is chuckle friendly all the way through and the whole cast is perfect. Very highly recommended. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Cast don't look that good but the story is really hilarious. Watch it from start to finish. One of my favorite asian movies to date Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
