It takes more than a pretty face to make a watchable movie
An absolute SNOOZEFEST, of a magnitude that's rare even for this genre. The leads have negative chemistry and the plot is a big nothing burger. Admittedly, the conditions were not looking good for me going into this - I found the manga to be mid, I'm not the biggest Kumada Rinka fan, and I think Ryubi was kind of miscast in this role - but I still tried to have an open mind, and yet it was even worse than expected. I'm shocked at how lifeless they managed to make a shojo romance movie, which should have some cute charm and heart-fluttering moments as a pre-requisite, but I was flatlining the whole way through with the uninspired directing and checked-out performances from all the cast. Even the costuming was ugly, like what was with Nakajima Sota's outfits!!! Skip this unless you need something to fall asleep to.
