Very watchable...a few plot holes...ending could've been better
by bimmer_372009-08-08
7/10

"Never heard of this movie before my sister started playing it. I guess it wasn't marketed very well. All in all, the movie was enjoyable, especially if you're a fan of Brittany Murphy. She did a pretty great job and it's always pleasant to her smile. Her interactions with her teacher were the best parts of the movie. There was no real need for the other non-Japanese characters as their subplots didn't add much to the movie. Nor was there any real end to their story. The ending was quick and not well thought out, but still okay. Other than that, a very watchable and at time..."

💡 Did You Know?

On the set of the film, Brittany Murphy nervously told director Robert Allan Ackerman that she had only ever been cast to be "either cute or crazy" and would not be able to deliver anything else. In response, they developed a code where he would say either "C1" or "C2." "C1" was "cute" and "C2" was "crazy," and Ackerman would say to her, "Too much C2, too much C1."
