Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

dbborroughs Masaru, twenty-something guy who's bounced from job to job now works as a handyman. This means that he'll do anything for money. While working his various jobs he has to deal with his bosses, his girlfriend (a tattoo artist with just one design), and his clients. He also has to deal with a strange man who needs his voice to activate a long dormant giant robot.Off kilter film from Japan is wonderfully wacky for the first half hour as we bounce through our hero's life. There is just a wonderful sense of insanity working that by the time the plot shifts gears to cover an attempt by the crazy guy to make enough money to pay for the use of Masaru's voice, and a plot line about drugs made to look like vinyl records, you're hooked and along for the ride. The pace picks up in the final third as our hero is chased and he has to try and find the robot, if it does exist.Its an amusing little film that mostly works even as the pace slows in the middle. Its an odd mix of Japanese and American sensibilities as the characters bounce between Japanese and English with the greatest of ease (The English subtitled English dialog is often amusingly reworded.) Dare I say the film is charming? I guess I will. While not as great as the early portions of the film promise the film is still a solidly good film and worth seeing.(And stay through the credits for an amusing fade out)
