Like many other reviewers, I expected this to be mediocre. But, don't let the simple (silly) title distract you. This movie is hilarious, with plenty of great twists, dramatic turns and character development of each family member. Few movies today realistically portray the challenges of dealing with teenagers, and this movie nails it, albeit Japanese-style. The simple theme of surviving without electricity is fantastic. Plus, there are subtle messages about the need to care for our environment! The family is challenged personally and physically, like a modern day Cast Away or Swiss Family Robinson.
