5.0 out of 5 stars Had my husband in tears -- and we both laughed a lot, too, December 2, 2000

This review is from: Traffic Jam [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This movie captured so much of the joys and hardships of a real family man trying to serve his company, wife and children, and parents, in modern Japan. Having lived in Japan for a bit, it seemed quite on the mark. The frustrating moments were often quite hysterically funny, sometimes quite painful. A wonderful movie, even for someone with no Japan background, capturing the struggles and joys of trying to be a man with heart.

This review is from: Traffic Jam [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This movie is a more of an adventure family film in japanese with english subtitles. If you like Takeshi Kitano films or just japanese films i think you will like this.
