Very nice scenery shots, but not much meat to the story.

Rating: Null/10 (8 October 2003)

I love Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson and they do a good job with the very minimal dialogue and plot. The movie has a few funny moments and really great shots of Japan, but the story line itself is very thin. Simply put I was bored. The characters just don't do very much, and I'm not the type of person that is looking for action. Movies like The Royal Tenenbaums, Being John Malkovich, and even something like American Splendor are much more engaging on every level. The movie's okay, and I could not go so far as to say it was a waste of time.
