Even given this movie all the "breaks" I could - my conclusion is that not only is the plot, but the entire movie is lost in translation.

I love the Toyko setting and I love Bill Murray's work and was looking forward to seeing him in this. However, this movie never gets started. You keep hoping that it will have a great ending, a significant message, anything. It simply goes on and on without a point.

I'm so astounded at the "nothingness" of this movie that I wish it had been based on a book so I could read that and figure out what the moview was supposed to be about. Nope, whatever message was intended it is still locked up in Sophia Coppolo's head.
