Don't some of you think that the lack of emotional connection between the two leads was sorta the point? I don't think they really had any sort of emotional connection (until maybe the very end). They were just two Americans who decided to spend their time together to make their time in Tokyo bearable. Why does that circumstance necessitate them creating a bond or falling in love?
John and Charlotte are disenchanted with life, and the time spent together only slightly improves their lives for a few days. The point is that at the end, they will go back to their lives and nothing will have changed.
I like this movie a lot. I understand completely why some wouldn't like it, but I, for one, enjoyed it.
