This film is nether good or bad. It is just very uninventive and uninteresting (most of the 100 minutes it lasts). It is made on the level of European student movies and I hope that those guys there do not get too ofended... Acting is mostly on Keanu Reevs level (not because Bill and Scarlett are bad actors, but just because there is nothing to act in this film). Summary: he comes to Japan, gets bored to death, ("oh, by the way Japanese are different than us! can you imagine?"), meets one bored american woman, they are bored together, the paint on the walls dry, I apply second layer of paint as movie slowly creeps into its second hour, they are still bored, Japanese are still different than Jeff from Topeka, karaoke, videogames,Japanese speak poor EngRish, bored, FLIRT, FLIRT, FLIRT!, oh, but he ends up in the bed with the retirement-ready Shania, .. bored... he leaves...
