This film only deserves a brief summation:

Wooden acting, juvenile script and dialog, archaic cultural stereotyping, uninteresting central characters who undergo no fundamental changes, plot less, and just plain boring.

This could be the single most over-rated movie in the history of cinema.

The only positive aspect was the cinematography. Tokyo was gorgeously shot.

I am a big fan of Bill Murray, but this was an incredible disappointment.

I actually found this film painful to sit through. I only saw it on video, but watched it twice because I thought I had just missed something.

Nope.
