This film combines a multitude of genres into a delightful romp through the end of a high school year, climaxing in a talents show performance for the ages. The resulting movie is simply delicious. There is that whole "lets enter the talent show" element along with several other teen related or specifically Japanese sub-genres involved in this beautiful brew. When I saw this at the Seattle International Film Festival, everyone exited the theater congratulating each other and ourselves for selecting this particular film. It entertains, strikes all kinds of right chords, sparks memories in the old and empathy in the young. As satisfying a film experience as I've ever had. I can not imagine ANYONE not being completely charmed by this engaging and quirky movie.
