Hiroshi is an actor, who always plays supporting roles, and lives in the shadow of his famous playwright father. Often mistaken for someone else, even for a kidnapper, Hiroshi struggles daily with his marginalized existence. But one day, luck changes. Hiroshi meets his muse, an aspiring actress Aya, who doesn't mistake him for anyone else. He falls for Aya head over heels and struggles to play the lead in his own life. A sweet romantic comedy for all generations that will leave you smiling. In Japanese with English subtitles.

Its a love story wrapped up in comedy. A series of pratfalls involving the lead who stumbles through his own life, overshadowed by a famous dad. In the film he aspires to act, and seems to have landed the ideal role, but then gets mistaken for a man having an affair with a politician's wife. On the train he meets a woman, and hopes for romance, but unlike his father, he is nervous and inexperienced around women so needs all the coaching he can get. Watched it in Tokyo and can vouch for it being bi-culturally funny. No ez task. The protagonist has that sad sack appeal that worked so well for Woody Allen.

Caught this one in New York and it is a whole lot of fun. Here's the plot summary in a nutshell: A TV actor falls in love with a pretty young woman, but his awkwardness and bad luck threaten to ruin the romance. He is always being mistaken for someone else, and gets caught up in all kinds of trouble. Cast Me If You Can is as touching as it is outrageously funny. Also, how often do we get to see Japanese comedy that also works in English? It's tough to pull off but this special film does it. A triumph that appeals to people of all ages!

Fun comedy movie that surprises you by having traditional leading role actors play supporting roles and supporting actors in leading roles. Highly recommend. I laughed out loud throughout!
