Flying Colors

It was a very heartwarming and touching family movie. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this movie. It managed to truly touch the real family life....the great expectation the parents have on their kids.

Really worth spending almost 2 hours watching this movie.

As a student who is aiming the exams to university, I was encouraged by this a lot, I mean, really a lot!

Well, this movie does not have much rank here, I suppose it is because people living under Western education system or examination system cannot understand properly that pressure of university-entry exams in Asian countries like Japan.

In my opinion is a really excellent movie, the relationships between the characters are also touching such as family and friends...

So I rated 10

Believe in your efforts!

There are some out there who believe that mainstream films can never be artistically great or entertaining. I am certainly not one of them - and this film definitely proves it.

True, it's not groundbreaking by any means. But is it interesting? Is it emotionally gripping? And most importantly, is it memorable? This is all three, and more.

Taking literally the best parts of what characterizes Japanese film - over the top acting, narrative exposition, classic tugs at the heart-strings moments and melodramatic long pauses - this film pulls great screen writing, direction and acting to produce what has to be the best two hours to come out of mainstream Japanese cinema in a very long time.

It started out kind of dumb as the main character, a stupid but cute airhead bimbo, was set up. But it did get better and a little deeper than it originally seemed. It's quite a cheeful and positive movie with some funny and charming moments.

Its really awesome. Drama, school, family, studying. All in One.

Hope more movie like this.
