This would be my first Japanese movie other than monster classics like "Rodan". It will likely be my last Japanese comedy. Although the cast is game, the humor is somewhat lame. A few sight gags, but for the most part it seems very repetitive and the use of "stunt dolls" is another glaring negative. I'm sure Woody Allen doesn't play big in Japan, so my missing the Japanese humor here in the United States really isn't surprising. "My Secret Cache" is not a bad movie for the right audience, and I am certainly not trashing it, but as comedic entertainment the movie failed to impress................................MERK
Japanese uber-model Naomi Nishida makes her starring debut inShinobu Yaguchi's semi-legendary comedy. A girl (Nishida) has been abnormally fascinated with money sincechildhood -- so much so that she becomes the employee of abank. She realizes quickly that it's not as much fun handlingmoney that you don't own....And that begins her hilarious odyssey that takes her througharmed robbery, and wins her a geology degree, a swimmingchampionshiip, a mountain-climbing contest, and injuries alongthe way to her pursuit of a suitcase full of cash. Director Yaguchi employs his usual deadpan humor in a story thathas you rooting for a hero who's often too funny for words. Finallyavailable on subtitled DVD, there's now no reason to put off yourresponsibility to see this delight.
Last night I saw the 1996 movie: Himitsu no hanazono . It was a simple yet fun movie. Fun for the whole family and something everyone could relate to. James xoxo.
A film about a money-loving woman, who is simply lovable !
