This film is not just a funny story about a middle-aged Japanese woman, falling in love with an American heartthrob then hopefully following him to the US, there's actually more true emotions to it. We could see how culture could be very different, the difference in generations, it gives us a light on why Japanese people are portrayed to be so emotional and how things affect them psychologically. The feeling of romance, empathy for loneliness, funny moments, a wee bit of hot unprecedented sex, anger and lots more thrown into there. A film worth more credit for the emotion it brings.
