Wakiyaku monogatari

So, the problem foreign films have is that their humor often doesn't translate. Cast Me If You Can, however, is hilarious in any language. And it pulls on the heartstrings, too! An awkward actor who lives with his famous father falls in love with a beautiful girl and obstacles present themselves. There are political scandals and cases of mistaken identity, trysts and chases. We were told that the cast is basically a collection of Japan's most famous actors. Without fail, they turn in a compelling performance that is as funny as it is moving. The protagonist, in particular, is a charmer, as is the cute-as-a-button leading lady. What a treat!
