I really enjoyed this movie, you probably will too.

Rating: 10/10 (8 October 2003)

I've now seen this movie twice in the theater. It is excellent. The film is beautiful, funny, and quite intelligent all at the same time. Bill Murray does a particularly great job, he is sad, and funny in turns both equally captivating.
The film is about people who feel separated from the world, unable to communicate, they don't just feel as though they are strangers in Japan but you get the sense that they are strangers in their homes as well. They are alienated from society, but are able to find something in common with each other, and that relationship is special.
In all seriousness, see this movie. It is well worth it.
