Great movie!

Rating: 8/10 (25 February 2004)

It is simple yet complicated. Bill Murray as Bob Harris is in Tokyo shooting a commercial for a whiskey when he meets Scarlett Johansson as the young girl Charlotte. They are both uncomfortable in the city and they feel really alone when they are not talking to each other. They develop a very good friendship spite the fact that they are both married. This is a beautiful story on how to very different person can find together and realize that they are in fact quite similar. Watching Bill Murray do a serious role was a very positive experience based on the movies he has done earlier and Scarlett does a great role as the young and kind Charlotte. Some people say this movie is boring and moves slow, but i totally disagree. I really liked it.
I give this movie an 8.
