The foreigners are to blame...

According to this film, Japan's present financial woes are all the fault of money-grabbing foreigners led by one scheming Japanese bureaucrat. Ah, Japan does like to blame its problems on someone else :)

Anyway, that rubbish aside, it is quite funny and I'm sure you'll have a laugh watching it. The last half-an-hour is a bit ridiculous though.

If you like it, other similar films worth a look are Water Boys and Messengers. Both have the same light-hearted humour and the second is by the same director as this "Baburu" film.

This comment has to be 10 lines long otherwise it won't be published (site rules) so here are a few words of meaningless drivel.
