An enjoyable Japanese movie that is somewhat a suspense movie, plus tragic-drama with dashes of comedy. The concept reminded me a bit of the movie Amélie . In Kekkon the main character is trying to make people happy and make money at the same time. I felt various recurring degrees of sympathy for Kenji but my sympathy evaporated and turned to revulsion when he was swindling the other characters. The music really helps create mood throughout the movie. The locations are humdrum locations throughout the Tokyo area. Its not fast-paced just easy-paced, sufficient enough to get you to feel for all the characters.
