The Disastrous Life of Saiki K (2017)

I'm a big fan of Saiki Kusuo and man this movie was amazing. The actors portrayed the characters perfectly and the storyline was hilarious! If you know anything about Saiki, you'll love this movie. If you're unfamiliar with Saiki Kusuo, you're going to be amazed by how crazy this film is. The plot is so simple yet the comedy makes it very intriguing. The anime and manga are 10x funnier but the movie manages to create such a funny portrayal to the point where you'll want to rewatch it again. I'm already planning to. I didn't know what to expect when entering such a film. I already knew how crazy it was going to be but the film broke my expectations. I even had to pause at times because I was laughing so hard. When a film can make you laugh so hard you know its worth the rewatch.

Kento Yamazaki's acting was phenomenal. I couldn't ask any other actor to play Saiki. I felt like I was looking at the exact Saiki from the anime. His blank expressions and random commentary were perfect. It was hard to believe I was watching Kento act such a bizarre character. Especially since he's been in a lot of romcoms. He played the part very well and I applaud him. For the other cast, they all portrayed the goofy characters soo well, especially Arai Hirofumi. Arai portrayed Nendo's stupidity perfectly. Once again I felt like I was watching the anime. All the cast members did a splendid job of truly becoming their character. I'm so proud of them and excited to watch again.

Overall, The Disastrous Life of Saiki K was amazing. I wish they can make another movie(or a drama, that would be amazing). If you just watched the movie only, I suggest you find the anime or the manga (they're both amazing). You'll fall in love and laugh till your heart's content. This is one movie you have to see if you want to laugh a lot.
