I think this was the absolute worst movie I have ever seen. I watched it with a friend and we wondered if we had fallen asleep at some point and missed the entire idea that this terrible film tried (but never succeeded) at getting across. I felt as if I watched someone's home movie of their trip to Japan! Giving it a 1 out of 10 is too kind, I was looking for a zero! Bill Murray was boring........................ I was very disappointed as all the reviews said this was a terrific movie! Maybe there were two different versions? I wouldn't recommend this film to anyone except an insomniac, it will surely put you to sleep! If anyone can really tell me what the point of this movie was just let me know and I may just try to watch it and see if maybe I did really fall asleep!
