Rating: C -- A feel-good movie that doesn't give you enough to feel good about.

Hashiguchi ... enriches his rendition with melancholic ambivalence, sociological specificity, and a knack for delicate epiphany.

Rating: 4/5 -- Hashiguchi covers this territory with wit and originality, suggesting that with his fourth feature -- the first to be released in the U.S. -- a major director is emerging in world cinema. Full Review

Rating: 1/4 -- Starts promisingly but disintegrates into a dreary, humorless soap opera. Full Review

Rating: 3.5/5 -- While not quite a comedy, the film tackles its relatively serious subject with an open mind and considerable good cheer, and is never less than engaging.

Product Description:

In this Japanese comedy from director Ryosuke Hashiguchi, a closeted gay man named Katsuhiro (Seiichi Tanabe) meets his match in outgoing Nayoa (Kazuya Takahashi), and the two seemingly opposite men fall in love. When the couple are approached by a sad woman (Reiko Kataoka) who wants them to help her have a baby, and their disapproving parents try to break up the relationship, all involved are challenged to redefine the true meaning of family.
