Not a bad film, but definitely not as great as some people here seem to think. (Greatest film ever? I don't think so.) The leads have no chemistry. Bill Murray's character is not very likable either. Japanese people are shown in an almost buffoonish way throughout the film. On the plus side, though, Scarlet Johansson is beautiful and the Jesus and Mary Chain and My Bloody Valentine are on the soundtrack (WOO HOO!)
