If nothing else, this breezily entertaining fable ups the ante on depicting modern communication. I haven't seen a film that has more characters online or on a cell phone or both.

Rated: 2/4

New York Times

A simple tale of beauty, the geek and the Internet, this Japanese romantic comedy follows the halting courtship of a 22-year-old nerd and his subway crush.

Rated: 4/5

Train Man: Densha Otoko is a lot like its protagonist: sweet, weird, and likable despite some irritating quirks.

Murakami gives the film an effervescent buzz that keeps things moving.

Maitland McDonagh

TV Guide

Though Train Man cleans up pretty decently, he still talks too fast and stands too close, and his makeover is a long-term work in progress. But it is working, and that's happy ending enough.

Rated: 3/4

ドラマをリアルタイムでみていたが、ドラマがギュッと凝縮された感じ。山田孝之がそのものになっていて詳細な描写がなくとも合間合間を想像できるシーンが多かった。

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Beautiful modern love story, quirky and endearing in ways the average western viewer may not expect. Great date movie.

A charming little film that alleges to be based on a true story of a man who happened to meet a girl out of his league when he stands up for her on the train, who then seeks advice from his faceless interweb friends as to how to woo her and come out of his nerd shell to win her heart. Really cute, fun little film, well worth a look. Recommended.

A great film with a classic premise. The lovable loser and the girl out of his league. I really want this film in my collection.
