Review of The Ramen Girl (2008) by Leo L — 27 Aug 2010

Intriguing movie! Abby is a young woman, out of college, and staying with her boyfriend in Japan. Wanting to avoid a long distance relationship, Abby is now experiencing the cultural and language difference of a new country. As she settles in, her boyfriend decides to end their relationship and she is left all alone. Wanting to give up and go back to America, she sees a local eatery and decides to avoid the loneliness of her apartment. There, she meets a raman chef and his wife and the two become her closest supporters. She relents, and decides to stay longer and enjoy her experiences in Japan.

Great cast- Brittany Murphy, Sohee Park, Toshiyuki Nishida, Kimiko Yo, Tammy Blanchard, Renji Ishibashi, and Gabriel Mann. Worthy!
