Another Gem of a Movie

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It's a wonderful story about a flower shop owner who is just good to everyone. The title "Mellow" really does say it all. This was a very comforting watch.

Lead actor, Tanaka Kei is great as is the rest of the cast including the young actress, Shiratori Tamaki who plays the main character, Natsume's precocious niece, Saho. There are some great scenes between them including a moment when they are delivering flowers and Natsume says, "It sucks to be a grownup. Just inconvenient." and Saho says to him "but it can't be helped, can it?"; just brilliant.

********Spoiler Alert*********** I'm sorry but I have to write about this scene b/c it was WILD!!

Natsume delivers flowers to a regular customer who falls in, love with him. She tells her husband she wants a divorce b/c she loves Natsume; not knowing Natsume's feelings at all. The wife and the husband confront Natsume with this information and his face was my face when they proceed to tell him this. Natsume is shooketh and (who wouldn't be) says it's weird that they told him this together and honestly even told him at all. When he tells the wife he doesn't have any feelings for her the husband gets upset and puts him out of their house... WHAT??? it's actually a great and humorous scene.

Anyway, watch for a great, mellow, heartwarming movie full of love and understanding.
