Hey, give credit where credit is due!

If you want to make a silly film, at least make it entertaining. Ramen Girl at least does that.
Hint: movie is not a photo of reality.
I was an English instructor in Rio to a major Japanese corporations' execs. It wasn't exactly like the situation in the film, of course, because I wasn't in a film. But I experienced a definite aggressiveness, an unfriendliness. Years before, I worked for a Japanese family as the dishwasher in their restaurant. I was treated EXACTLY like the girl in the film (that surreal experience was like a film)--- utter disrespect, contempt.
Thanks for the "Ramen" recommendation. I do enjoy Japanese humor....
Between the two I thought Ramen was a watchable ***film***, the other one was a chore. I simply didn't care to see what happened next and how.
Could have been just me, but my wife didn't object to turning it off either.

Sylvie Testud may be cute, but no one will call her pretty.
But vacuous.
A gross oversight on part of her publicity manager, admittedly... and sadly...

But why are we talking about her? Did you really like the actress that much?

My wife hated the movie, I found it interesting... within reason.I presume you knew she is French.
