Don't see it if you just want to have a good time watching a movie...

Rating: 6/10 (26 March 2004)

This movie...I, personally, wanted to see it just to have a good time, as the parts that I saw of it were funny. The movie starts good, is funny in the beginning with Bill Murray and the japs. But after 40 minutes, you start to get tired. The story is about two people who are in tokyo for business, not as tourists, and they both are bored and wish they weren't there. They come together and try to have some fun. OK, good story, but Sofia has concentrated so much on showing how bored and sad these two are that makes you bored too. As I said, it starts very good and goes good for some time but then you get tired of seeing Bill Murray's so bored face (his face doesn't change at all!) or Scarlett Johansson's sad face and you start to feel like them. I came out of the theater a bit depressed probably because I was hoping to see a comedy. If you want to see a comedy, this is not the one. I give it 7 out of 10.
