Rating: 2/10 (27 August 2016)

The movie has an opening shot of Scarlett Johanssen's buttocks-which proves to be prophetic.
With Bill Murray, I was expecting this to be a comedy. But it is not-unless you count the scenes of Japanese people acting like crude stereotypes.
Bill Murray plays a washed-up actor who goes to Japan to do a Japanese whiskey commercial, staying in an expensive hotel in the process. Scarlett plays the wife of a workaholic, also staying at the hotel while her husband is involved in his job, leaving her alone. Basically it's a pastiche of scenes of everyone talking, or lying around in their hotel rooms, or interacting with Japanese stereotypes, until the two meet in a bar. But then I stopped the movie-too many long,boring scenes of nothing happening. And from the negative comments here, I realized that there was no reward if I had watched to the end.
My review title means, in Japanese, "This movie is boring." I wonder if any Japanese saw it, and if any of them liked it.
