Right, well I had not heard about the 2014 Japanese movie "Chotto Kawaii Aian Meiden" (aka "The Torture Club") prior to sitting down and watching it here in 2023. It being a Japanese movie that I hadn't already seen, nor heard about, was sufficient for me to watch it.
And I figured that since "Chotto Kawaii Aian Meiden" was listed as a movie of comedy, drama and romance here on IMDb, that it was what I was in for. Imagine my surprise when this was not such a movie, but instead a sexploitation movie. Yeah, that hardly registered as entertainment in my book. And I had to turn off this rubbish after being exposed to a mere 21 minutes of the ordeal.
The storyline in "Chotto Kawaii Aian Meiden" utterly failed to capture my interest. Then again, I am not particularly interested in BDSM and seeing Japanese girls in various stages of undress. It hardly constitutes entertainment. And most definitely not something I would waste my time watching.
Needless to say that I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie. Whether or not the actresses in the movie put on good performances, I cannot say. I didn't pay attention, pure and simple. And the fact that the entire movie failed to entertain me in any way just didn't make me put any effort into the story or the characters.
Take heed, this movie from writers Makoto Fukami, Alpha AlfLayla and Kôta Yoshida is not a romantic comedy drama, it is softcore porn, pure and simple. And thus doesn't qualify as entertainment in my book. I believed that I was in for a proper movie, especially since it was listed as a romantic comedy.
I am sure that there is an audience out there for a movie such as "Chotto Kawaii Aian Meiden", no doubt about it. I just happened to most certainly not be a part of that particular target audience. I don't enjoy watching Japanese girls being tortured, inflict torture upon others, nor have any interest in the type of sexual behavior that this movie was depicting.
My rating of director Kôta Yoshida's 2014 rubbish movie lands on a one out of ten stars.
