Apart from the moody Japanese scenery (and the director seems to feel the need to show mount Fuji at frequent intervals to remind us), this movie seems to have no redeeming features. The differences between Japanese and western culture is not, in itself, sufficiently interesting to carry a feature film. I can't believe that anybody would have so little imagination that they couldn't find SOME amusement other than really bad Karaoke. It has proven very difficult to find ten lines of text to write about this NOTHING film. Most of the points made by the movie have been made much better in earlier movies! Luckily, I didn't pay to rent it so I don't feel quite so cheated. But I'll never get the 102 minutes back!
