Completely forgettable mediocre watch, though perhaps a good time-killer
SHORT REVIEW: This movie is fine to pass the time, but completely forgettable. I kept pausing while watching to do other things and eventually forced myself to finish the film because I was so disengaged, particularly in the second half.
LONGER REVIEW: I think the actors were well cast and had really good chemistry, but my God am I sick of female leads in Japanese dramas/films who are so incredibly one-dimensional. Of course, yet again we have a female lead here who is extremely shy and friendless, but opens up to the guy she likes. She is of course either really quiet and sweet or, when worked up, shouting her lungs out. These female leads feel like a copypasta at this point. Just a few days ago I saw another Japanese film (From Me to You) with a female lead who also fits this exact description.
SPOILER...I thought the wedding scene was slightly ridiculous. So you're getting married out of nowhere, with no officiant, when it's questionable whether you're even old enough to legally marry...Perhaps the "wedding" was dress-up? Which I think would only make the scene more stupid. Anyway, a thoroughly mediocre watch.
