If only I could speak Japanese!

Rating: Null/10 (27 October 2003)

I am a fan of Bill Murray; in fact, I like him in every movie even this one. However, he spent the entire time looking dour. In fact, that alway seems to be one of his best looks. This picture should have had subtitles. More Japanese was spoken than English which is a good thing if you can speak Japanese. Murray looked like he was constipated and the lovely young thing looked like a lot of lovely young things. This was a whirlwind tour of Tokyo, lights and sound especially. I think the most interesting thing about this movie was that is was about nothing or I should say very little. Two bored people meet have a few drinks, talk a little and then bye, bye. The hoopla, rants and raves the critics gave this movie give me pause, pausing to wonder if they saw the same movie I did. I was hoping for something about something but unfortunately I got nothing.
