Listen to Your Heart (2010)
Terrible
This movie is awful. Usually I trust IMDb ratings but this one was above 7 stars and after watching 3/4 of the movie. It is awful. Really, really awful. It is pretty mediocre for the first half and then falls off a cliff to become awful. The acting isn't great but in the beginning I don't think anyone really needs to act very hard. They just play themselves. But then as the plot moves along, the acting gets worse and then the plot takes a nosedive using cliché plot lines and bad acting to bring it to a cliché love story closing. I should have known it was bad when I saw that Cybill Shepherd was in it. Has she done anything good since Moonlighting? In short, this is not the movie you are looking for. Move along. Move along.

I love this film
This has become one of my all time favorite films. The cinematography is beautiful; it has an interesting plot; I like the characters. I am not crazy about some of Akira Kurosawa's samurai flicks (he wrote this movie) but I adore this film. This is probably my favorite Japanese film. I highly recommend it. I don't think you have to know anything about Japanese culture either. I heard that one criticism of Kurosawa's works is that he doesn't have many roles for women and tends to focus on men. This film really shows his ability to write about women and create wonderful women characters. But the great thing is that it isn't just character development. There is a good plot also. Everyone should see this film
