Sometimes the critics get it entirely wrong. With a 95% fresh tomato and over 8 rating on IMDB, I was sure my wife and I were in for a real treat. In addition, I like Bill Murray very much. Believe me this film is a complete waste of time. There are a few laughs in the first part and my wife enjoyed the view of Tokyo since she had never been there. But, there's not much more. The acting was fine but the film had very, very little entertainment value. We go to the movies about once every other week and see a lot of movies. I also see a lot of movies with my granddaughters. Pirates of the Caribbean was a masterpiece compared to this movie. Let the critics see this movie and go to see something you will enjoy.
