OMG. If you aren't a pretentious know it all movie buff (which I am) and you can just sit and have fun then this movie is the absolute funniest movie on the planet. My favorite thing is the expressionless face of the main character even when his plans dont go according to uhhhh PLAN
It’s one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen. Something about the humor reminds me a bit of “Savage” Steve Holland’s movies—particularly “Better off Dead.”
It’s probably the most brilliantly absurd movie ever made. Anyone who can watch, for example, the protagonist’s movie audition scene without laughing is a baby-eating, soulless, puppy-kicking communist.
The only thing that bug me is there are too many sexual scenes -_-" But overall, its fcking funny. Kitano made this film when he was furious about not being accepted by the Japanese audiences. donno what he was thinking lolz
it was my 10th KItano (watched it yesterday for the first time) and expecting a REALLY WEAK movie, I was surprised that I laughed several times; obviously the humor worked for me.
