| User ReviewRichard PIf you're in your early to mid 20's and live with your bf or gf, than this is a movie you may be able to relate with. The comic book released in Japan (which this movie is based upon) was a hit when first released and still remains a classic. This movie might not have made much news outside of Japan, but there are many fans of it (and the original) comic book in Japan. |
| User ReviewMiona JAnother stunning performance from Aoi Miyazaki. |
| User ReviewThomas FIt's been about two years since I read the manga., I don't remember it being this corny, but regardless, the movie was generally enjoyable. Some cool things was the bassist in the band being the bassist from Sambomaster, and the final show being performed at Club Act in Machida. |
| User ReviewYvan CEven if the (rushed) ending was somewhat satisfying, the first half of the film is devoid of anything that will hook you to the characters. Kengo Kora's character doesn't seem to possess any on-screen charisma opposite Aoi Miyazaki's who's trying so hard to get him to stick around... and we don't get why. When "it" finally happens, we're already passed half the film. Secondary characters needed more interaction and more developing. Ayumi Ito is really underused. |
| User Reviewsitenoise !Pretty sappy flick about triumph after despair, and the power of music to change the world. But Miyazaki Aoi! She still has that mildly coy smile and should probably learn to leave it behind as she gets older, but if you are a fan of her she is lovely to behold once again and almost redeems the film with sweaty guitar playing. There's a scene in the film where a guitar teacher tells her "I think guitar works best when you look cool playing it". While there's not a lot of it, and what is there is edited with great care, Miyazaki does look pretty cool playing guitar. |
