With all the hype that this movie got, I forced myself and my spouse to watch it to the end hoping (in vain) that the misery we had endured thus far would be rewarded by some fantastic finish.... which never came.Undoubtedly the most boring movie I have ever seen.Perhaps I disliked the movie because I could not identify with it. I feel sympathy for those who could, as what tragically boring lives they must lead.I wish I could return this bomb, but the BS no return policy on software and dvd's that retailers force on consumers prevents me.

i don't really have the right to review this because i couldn't stand to watch more than half of this movie. it is one of the most boring movies i've ever seen. none of my family liked it or even watched the whole thing.

Just say NO. An hour and 42 minutes of my life...wasted. Don't let this happen to you! Watch a test pattern...twiddle your thumbs..it will have the same effect as this movie.

Could a movie GET any more boring than this one?! I don't think so. Two depressed Americans wander around Tokyo..that's it..that's the whole movie in a nutshell. If there was any real action at all it must have occurred when I dozed off, unless you count the guys playing games in the arcade.

I dunno, I watched this with my wife and 15 yr-old daughter and all of us sorta thought "Hunh?" when this was over -- granted some of Murray's angst and dry wit har-har was good but it got lost in a dream-like, cinema artsy-fartsy chic -- uhh, "When's something going to happen here that means something?" It was a snoozer overall but being lost inside a voyeuristic and surreal view of downtown, big-city Japan and its gawdy USA-ism and techno playground kept me watching and then the movie ended -- click - EJECT DVD. zzzzzzzzzzzzzz Save yer $$$ for Radio or Second Hand Lions!

This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I would give it a 0 if possible. It is about two bored people who get together and then bore those who are watching the movie.I cannot for the life of me understand why anyone would like this movie. I have not yet found one single person who says they have seen it and liked it.One section of the movie was the longest 20 minutes I have ever spent in my life.I would have rather been in a dentist chair.
