It doesn't ever reach its full potential. Keaton, Wantanabe, and company give it their all, but they can't quite overcome the screenplay's slow pacing. The interesting premise is for the most part wasted. The dramatic elements work way better, which falls in line with much of the rest of Howard's filmography (for the most part he's just not a good comedic director). Oddly enough the midwestern blue collar themes are very reminiscent of Roseanne, and this acts almost as a precursor of sorts.

In the previous movie by this name, the American attitude toward the Japanese (with Randolph Scott showing the way) favored annihilation. This one, forty-odd years later, inclines toward compromise. There is a modest amount of crow to be eaten by Americans (the movie's bravest moments); but in the end, compromise doesn't stand in the way of anyone's greater happiness, success, popularity, anything. What kind of compromise is that?

An interesting and mostly accurate representation of the differences between American and Japanese attitudes towards work. And it's very well acted by actors of both languages. However, it's also a dull film with about 30 minutes of real content, if even that much. Good premise, weak, empty script, and average execution. It's watchable.
