Mini-Review: The ultimate friendship; Middle aged stuck in a rut actor meets beautiful twenty-something girl in Japan. They're both lost in some way and understand each other almost perfectly. The karaoke scene is my favourite scene from any movie ever. Amazing scenery, amazing soundtrack, amazing peformances. Amazing.

Mini-Review: Having read the book first I couldn't help but feel let down. The music references were good and John Cusack played a strangely American Rob well, but there was just something about it that didn't quite click. Maybe it was the moving of the setting from London to Chicago(?) or the fact that the record store was way to big in my opinion which didn't work but overall it was enjoyable and entertaining. A good laugh and sweet moments, not bad overall.
