Title: I've a soft spot in my heart for this kind of flick....
Product review: Acting is ok. Dad does it the best. The bad guy does it almost as good but everyone else is just ok....Cultural accuracy has little to do with anything here. What the hero gets away with is just NOT what he'd get away with. And we are all very happy the girl-interest talks English as if she had lived in the US for more than two decades. Equally as amazing; dad picks up English almost as easily.There is a famous saying in Japan; "the nail that sticks up, gets hammered down". You just have to suspend reality if you watch this flick.If you like American meets Japanese girl in impossible circumstances... American gets girl and her dad to compromise ALL cultural, political and societal taboos...then...well, we'll skip that part... then well, we can't give away the ending.... You'll like this movie.Let's just say the villan had the best, most accurate part in the whole flick.And, I'm a sucker for this kind of movie......
