It wasn’t a great movie but kept me entertained -I liked it. Now, I thoroughly enjoyed the Japanese version of Shall We Dance as all the actors made their roles come alive while the American version had no soul or feeling. It felt like Gere and Lopez were cardboard cut outs and didn’t make me care about them at all! Even the Japanese Godzilla was far superior to the American one. I guess I should watch more Japanese movies.

I had seen some info about it on a movie review show in Japan when it was produced, but since I didn’t speak the language and my wife was out of the house I couldn’t get anymore information on it. That trip to Japan was a long time ago, but I remembered what I had seen.

So, I was completely pleased and surprised I’d find it after all these years. Needless to say “..Mr. McDonald” is my new favorite movie of all time!

Lately I have been watching the movie The Ramen Girl staring Brittany Murphy. It is my favorite movie to watch. I tried looking in the movie about Brittany's husband wearing the shoes on the tatami flooring. I could no find that scene. If anyone could point it out to me please do. I thank you very much for it.

So I'm glad they played a little homage to the original and far superior film.
