Ashley Jones Is Perfectly Normal

Ashley Jones Is Perfectly Normal is a very complex storyline touching upon a plethera of Contemporary issues like stereotypes, racism, intolerance, assimilation, intolerance, discrimination and the dangers of not believing in your inner self, There were subtleties like the town's name being "Santa Norma" that Larry's potato winds up being the .............. That was was a very nice touch.

Yuka Sano the female lead was extremely good portraying Ashley Joes. Convincingly portraying the courage of conscience.

I will watch this again as I probably missed something on the 1st viewing.

This a most enjoyable film to watch.

I disliked this film. I read a description of it prior to watching it but still did not get it even with these hints. Most of the acting was not good. The lead actress was okay. I wonder whether I am unsophisticated or something when others lauded this film and I hated it. It is like someone gushing over a piece of abstract art because others gushed. I will gush if I am moved, however, there was no movement here. Finally, I don't get the significance of the 500,000 year old woman or the Japanese accent malady to the plot. Too weird.

This film is relatable as it conveys a deep message about identity and individuality through a quirky story. From the whimsical music to the candid narration, Ashley Jones is Perfectly Normal contains a light hearted energy and a type of comedy that can be enjoyed by most. Having laugh-out-loud moments involving a predictable waiter to Ashley Jones tasking herself with obtaining numbers from party strangers, this movie can classify itself as positively playful. The characters are uniquely comedic as they cleverly represent what conformity looks like in today's society. To include, Ashley Jones is a breath of fresh air as it provides more representation by having a Japanese lead actress.

Or Pushing Daisies, or The Crazy Ex Girlfriend.

The entire time I was watching the movie, I couldn't help but to think about those 3 references. Unfortunately, we are faaaar away from this level, for the following reasons:

• The acting is terrible, so much so that the main actress sometimes forget to act like the condition she has.

• The storyline makes absolutely no sense- well actually there is none from the moment she has her diagnosis.

• It is not cute, nor funny, or teaching you anything, or making you think about anything.

• The scenes where she is imagining things (hello crazy ex girlfriends fans) are too long, too lousy, then end up being the reality...? They lost me more than once on those stuff.

I have watched it a few days ago and I am still sitting here, wondering: what was this movie about? If you are adventurous, go watch and find out. If not, please spare yourself 90 minutes of your life time.

I laughed a lot watching this film. I strongly recommend this film if you are looking for something new, original, and unique film.

The leas actress Hana Yuka Sano was believable and director Thomas Bangert and writer Kev Stock did a great job!
