Ancient Roman architect Lucius is too serious. His inability to keep up with the fast-moving times costs him his job. When a friend takes the dejected Lucius to the public bathhouse to cheer him up, Lucius accidentally slips through time and resurfaces in a modern-day public bath in Japan. There, he meets aspiring young manga artist Mami, along with others of the "flat-faced clan". Shocked by the many inventive aspects of Japan's bathing culture, Lucius returns to ancient Rome and garners tremendous attention when he implements these novel ideas back in Rome. As he time-slips back and forth between ancient Rome and modern-day Japan, Lucius' reputation as the ingenious, new bath architect begins to grow.

| Reel Film ReviewsDavid NusairThere's an expected lack of momentum here that's nothing short of disastrous... |
| User ReviewChu TSUPER FUNNY & VERY CREATIVE JAPANESE MOVIE!!!!!! |
| User Reviewfelipe mO diretor brinca com seriedade da Roma Imperial e o escracho estereotipado do Japão atual, fazendo contrapontos entre comédia e drama. |
| User ReviewPer BVery silly slapstick comedy romance,maybe a Japanese take on Hot Tub Time Machine but more funny :) |
| User ReviewLuis RModern Japan meets ancient Rome thanks to time travel and the shared love of warm baths: high WTF subject, and it works elegantly for the sake of Japanese doing, in a bizarre fashion, their history homeworks, and the good alchemy between ... and Hiroshi Abe, a giant comical talent with the right phisique du role. |
| User ReviewVivian LLove the first half but hate the diverted ending from the original books. |
| User ReviewWilliam WThe Cantonese-slang subtitle does help quite a lot. |
| User ReviewStuart MA Japanese live-action movie about a Roman architect who can time travel via bathtubs. How can it go wrong? Well, it does. Unfortunately. It never really realizes its potential and has no sense of purpose or direction. There are a few highly amusing scenes and the occasional clever plot point but on the whole it's fairly dull once you get over the sheer bizarre novelty of it. It quickly falls into a repetetive pattern: Lucius is discontented about the current bath problem - he finds a portal - he is amazed by Japanese designs - he builds a Roman version. This may have worked better in manga form or even episodic tv form than a live action movie. Lucius never really has much of a personality beyond disappointment, joy, and anger. He does occasionally manage to pull off amusingly ridiculous facial expressions, and his comedic timing isn't bad, but the drama just falls flat. It does get better as it goes on and develops something resembling a plot. There are imperial complications involved. But it never becomes exactly compelling. At its best it's amusingly ridiculous in an epic way. At its second best it manages to be a glorious visual feast. That's not too bad in the end. It also features the most epic bathing music you'll ever find. Of course, the real fun in this is seeing a bunch of Japanese guys pretending to be Roman. Generally the casting is pretty good. The guy playing Hadrian is the only one who is hopelessly Japanese. The background extras are all local Italians (the outside scenes were filmed on the leftover sets from HBO's Rome in Cinecittà ) with Japanese dialogue dubbed over them. |
| User ReviewArianna BA roman architect can travel to modern Japan when submerged in water. He uses what he sees to upgrade the baths in Rome. It has some funny parts that get laughs, but it's mostly an enjoyable, bizarre trip. How can we save Rome? With an onsen, of course! |
| User ReviewWidhi Wnot really great. komedinya agak flat. pemain terliat kurangmenjiwai karakter masing2. alurnya sebetulnya bagus tp jatuhnya flat |
