A movie featuring overweight Israelis and sumo wrestling? A chick flick? Yes, it is, because it's really about the issues of self-perception and self-worth...AND it's funny. Also, I'm pretty sure reading the subtitles burned extra calories.

Here is the movie my friend and I watched on our movie night this week:

I WANT TO SEE THIS.
ReplyDeletewe had friends who lived in Japan for a summer and when they got back it was all about the Sumo wrestling. We had to watch the real thing with them....
ReplyDeleteThis looks pretty good.
It was a wonderful film (so long as you don't mind subtitles). I love movies that leave me thinking about all the characters in them for days afterward.
DeleteI don't mind subtitles for a good movie.
DeleteAnd good movies are hard to find.
There are some Japanese movies that I watched years ago with the same friends that were very good. They played on making fun of the culture. The funeral and another about a noodle shop.
I need to look them up.
It will never come to my town, but I'll watch for it on Amazon Prime or someplace. A long time ago my son could always bring down the house by doing the Sumo stance. Something about the trailer reminds me of The Full Monty...
ReplyDeleteI'll definitely watch this!! :D
ReplyDeleteOh dear. That looks funny.
