Review of The Ramen Girl (2008) by Jorgen L — 22 May 2009

I was pleasantly surprised by this film! It threw a lazy American girl into a Japanese culture without making it too dumb. They did not suddenly give her the ability to understand the language nor did they make her journey easy.

The movie is not as funny as some slapstick comedies but the overall tone of the unusual situation will certainly keep a smile on your face with an occasional laugh. Needless to say it also makes you want a real bowl of ramen too.
