Pretty Good Story


I saw this during my flight with JAL. I was skeptical at first, since it's an Erika Sawajiri movie. It starts as a regular romance movie, however around the middle, the story progresses into a much more interesting plot. The movie also ends pretty well, not just another romance cliche.

8.5/10

although Erika Sawajiri has a lot of scandals, but i have to admit that her acting in this movie was very good....she looked as pure as an angel...( so sad that in real life she seems to oppose to it)

Is there a reason for being skeptical towards movies with Erika Sawajiri? I mean, she is a great actress, as she proved this several times. Actually I have never seen a bad performance of her. Unless you can't see the role she plays anymore, because the image of a person the media made is overlaying that role? But then, even more impressive she managed to convince, isn't it? If she didn't convince you, you certainly would not rate this movie 8.5 as she has the most screen time.

But I can't agree with "Pretty Good Story". The story is acceptable, but only because the cinematography is so well done, the actors performances are so sensible and convincing and the music is superb, the movie works out fine. Only for these reasons I could disregard the many plot holes and unsuitable or unnecessary happenings in the story. I won't start to recite them here, because as I said it's possible to disregard them. But it's not the story that makes this movie an enjoyable one.
