Review of The Ramen Girl (2008) by Matt S — 15 Jan 2010

This turned out to be quite a charming, heartwarming, funny and uplifting tale about one womans true calling after her boyfriend leaves her in tokyo to pursue a job elsewhere. It's still very sad and shocking that Brittany Murphy is no longer with us but this movie proves that once again she was a fine and very charming and lovable actress that won't soon be forgotten.

This movie will definitely make you hungry and crave ramen noodles and just make you in a very happy mood, very spirited movie! This movie shows that life can throw you curve balls but you should never lose touch with yourself and your soul and do everything with passion.

I thought the supporting cast was a delight especially the ramen chef teacher he was hysterical! I'm surprised that this never got a theaterical release because I thought it was very appealing and a winner in my book, sure it's not the best movie ever and was pretty simplistic and nothing we haven't seen before but it's sunshine compared to most.

Overall if you enjoy movies like Simply Irresistible or Chocolat ect. you'll like this movie. Recommended!!!
