It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

The girls in this film are knock-outs. Their hard bodies, beautiful legs, stylish hair and sense of fashion is what makes films great in the first place: a place to fantasize, rejoice about and smile.These are not American gross-out women trying to make virtue of their lard and making fart jokes in Ghostbusters. This is a film from another planet.there are tender moments of humanity, a real tragedy or two and then upscale feminine wiles that make it a pleasure to watch. This is why the phrase eye candy was invented.And then American women keep wondering why men are attracted to these women. Watch the film and find out! PS: could someone that cute stalk me or bring me a pineapple please?

Truth is you can put the main actress in this film, Nozomi Sasaki, on film standing there for 2 hours and I would watch. She is a goddess of face, goddess of body, goddess of legs, goddess of smile and goddess of acting. Just here in this film you can see her convincing acting ability as a friend, then as a prostitute, then as a schoolgirl, then as a lover, etc. She manages them all perfectly.It does not hurt that she is surrounded by pretty girl, but I have deducted a point for the complete lack of parents. Where are the parents? The story flows from the school to her routine and back to the school setting.Nozomi Sasaki, and friends, are beautiful, gorgeous, pretty, sexy and attractive and I suggest women take a close look and work on themselves after being inspired. It is OK if you look at her and feel inadequate. Do not hate. Be inspired instead and work on improving yourself with her as a 10/10 inspiration.

A showcase of then national(?) pride, Japanese AV idol, Sasaki Nozomi - literally. This could be made into a music video and would still purvey the whole story. Eye candy in a better and wholesome package. In any case, I don't know what my standards (or of culture) are at right now but for the material, she can definitely act her part.Forget character development unlike similar themed Asian dramas like "Crying Out Love in the Center of the World (Sekai no Chûshin de, Ai o Sakebu, 2004)", "A Moment to Remember (Nae Meorisokui Jiwoogae, 2004)", "My Girl and I (Parang-juuibo, 2005), "Closer to Heaven (Nae Sa-rang Nae Gyeol-ae)", "Forever and a Day (Filipino, 2011)", "All My Life" (Filipino, 2004)", etc. OR even "Untamed Heart (American, 1993); 'tis a whirlwind of accelerated emotions, situations and conflicts. Don't expect much conveyance of emotions either. I get more uneasy from watching uploaded commercials of a Thai insurance company.Cinematography was beautifully shot regardless of location, with the perennial focus and zoom on Miss Sasaki's too perfect a profile not lacking. It was too much to not ponder on that I reluctantly asked my teen-aged daughter (whom I was watching this with, and yes there where uncomfortable parts!); "Can they Photoshop™ a whole movie?".Plot was not as hard to miss, just that it was progressing too fast to be expected. If it was made into a mini-series then much would rather make sense (like Hotaru no Hikari, which is WAY out of context). Other characters or sub-plots are just as forgettable as they come and go. Culture shock would be not as hard as to come by judging from various taboos the story includes (excessive and disturbing school bullying, disturbing "part-time" jobs for minors, co-habitation situations, etc.).All in all, its characters are beautiful, flaws are bearable and definitely watchable just don't expect it to conform to your norms and values (maybe unless you're from where this movie came from).

This is not one of the best Japanese films I have ever seen and the story is very flat but i managed to watch the film until the end. the story for me lacks depth and not because I follow it in the native Japanese language with English sub-titles. Viewed simplistically, it is an enjoyable teen drama about a young girl who seems to get bullied and then protected and then sucked it to behave like the other girls and the girls are trendy and have a seedy purpose in going with men (we presume) in order to get money but the film is no way seedy and there are no scenes of a sexual nature at all throughout the film. In that sense, the film is tastefully produced and compelled my viewing. It might have been perceived as a comedy but that failed my cultural understanding. I have scored the film lowly but if I were a teenager and female and Japanese, the film would surely have a lot of appeal.
