After hearing the hype surrounding this film, and even hearing it's one of Quentin Tarantino's favourite films, I was expecting a really good romcom. Unfortunately all I got was a "nice", slightly above average romcom that left me feeling fuzzy inside.

"Lost In Translation" does have a few laugh out loud scenes and the performances are good. What makes this different from other romcoms is that it feels real! It feels completely believable, with subtle humour, rather than the not very funny in-your-face slapstick humour found in most romcoms today.

If you're looking for an interesting character development and friendship story then look no further because that is what you're getting! But I didn't think "WOW!" At the end of it, I just thought "ah, that was nice" and got on with the rest of my life.

"Lost In Translation" didn't really rock my boat for me, but I prefer intense, powerful films, rather than light comedies. Overall, it was slow, motionless but nice.
