Artsy, cutesy, empty, bore.

Rating: Null/10 (19 February 2004)

What is wrong with most of the movie critics? I mean, I really don't get it. Based on the reviews I was so looking forward to watching this movie.
O.K., I get it; burnt out mildly depressed actor, mildly depressed intelligent adrift young woman sort of connect. This transpires with the backdrop of that quirky, crazy, Janpanese culture. So this is supposed to highlight what, their alienation? From what? There are mildly amusing sight gags, but thats not character development. I'll never trust the critics again. Thank god, I didn't buy the DVD sight unseen.
