I agree with EeOh1. It was OK, nothing special. I didn't like how it mocked the Japanese either. Overall, it was pretty sappy, with the scenes where Murray followed his little chippy around to all those parties particularly embarrassing. He was at least 25 years older than anyone there. The whole thing about romanticizing a long-married man's lonliness by sending him this pretty, newly married, young woman: sappy. And by adding a sense of isolation, where they were "strangers together in a strange land", with the Japanese as the Strangers, was weak. Hey, but is was made by a Coppolla, so its all good, right?
