Things get mighty sticky in this affably offbeat indie comedy when a hapless 40-year-old divorcé falls for his brother-in-law's charming niece
We are so close to the end of the Valentines Day quest that I am going into overtime now to stuff as many movies as I can in the next 24 hours. Today I start with a quirky, off-beat comedy. I know I stole off-beat from the description, but it is.
The story revolves around a Japanese fellow who wife left him and he moved to live with his sister and brother in law in the U.S. His sister wants to help, his brother-in-law thinks he's retarded and he has to share a room with his 10 year old nephew who is a piano prodigy. While living here his co-workers and sister are constantly trying to help him find love. When he sees his brother-in-laws niece after many years he instantly falls in love with her.
This movie is adorable, as long as you don't mind reading the occasional sub title here and there. If you dig this kind of thing, than you will like this movie. It's not on the top of the snuggle list, but still worth the watch if you have seen everything else I have mentioned.
