Review of The Ramen Girl (2008) by K F — 06 Feb 2010
The cover of this DVD does this movie an injustice. The geisha/kimono thing is just NOT what this movie is about. The Ramen Girl is a lovely, hilarious, sweet, hugely entertaining, charming little movie about finding oneself in an unexpected place.
Brittany Murphy does an excellent job playing an adventurous lovelorn American girl who becomes abandoned in Tokyo by her boyfriend. And from there begins her beautiful journey, in which she becomes the hapless assistant to a tyrannical ramen master chef.
After this movie, I have a new appreciation for the art of cooking ramen. And I am sorry Ms. Murphy is gone, for I very much enjoyed her performance and would've loved to have seen her in more stories.
RIP, Ms. Murphy.
