Good if you're a wanna be sudo intellectual.

Rating: 1/10 (16 April 2005)

Garbage.
Humor was way too built up for a minor punchline, that seemed to be intelligent humor but was a small cover up to makes this humor appear to be original. Humor was so subtle that it descended into a coma. If you find this movie a funny then you probably live either life way too seriously, or you were just laughing to fit in with the other sudo intellects that swear by this movie. People seem swear by this movie because of Bill Murray's success with "Rushmore" & "The Royal Tenenbaums". I could just hear the fans say, "It must be good, Bill Murray is in it", he could have came out and just crapped on the movie set and these people would have found it funny. Probably good if you're a hollow, pretentious hipster.
This movie attempts the subtle humor about society behavior as Seinfield TV series did, except in a perspective of Americans in Japan. Lost In Translation, though was very poor at this.
I figured it was trying to appeal to Americans traveling to places of totally different cultures and seeing the differences, but I've traveled plenty, as far as I saw in this movie, I see the humor but it just is not funny enough to spark a single "Ha".
This movie was such much of a bore, I am getting bored writing this so that's it for now.
