Gimme a break

Rating: 4/10 (27 October 2017)

This movie was a great disappointment. It has a big reputation, but I just can't see why. It's cliché-ridden, unfunny and makes cheap fun of Japanese culture. A typical example of the self-centered view Americans have of the world. I couldn't find anything profound or deep at all in this movie. Just two spoiled Americans feeling sorry for themselves in a strange, 'exotic' country. Give me a break. If I wouldn't have known any better, I would just have considered this one of Woody Allen's lesser movies...
