The only reason for spending the two dollars renting this DVD is to see the beautiful cinematography of Tokyo. It really is a beautifully filmed movie.

But, sadly, this is not enough. Bill Murray sings karaoke (see Saturday Night Live). Bill Murry swings a golf club (see Caddyshack). Bill Murray rolls his eyeballs and smirks for the camera (see every other Bill Murray movie).

I enjoy good art films and foreign films. Unfortunately, this is not a good one. The characters, while sympathetic, are not very interesting; and the plot is non-existent.

Rent the movie, fast-forward through the dialogue, and watch the scenery in real time. You won't miss a thing, and it will be two dollars well spent. A solid 3 out of 10.
