Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

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.

The innocent and delicate Nanami (Haru Kuroki) is about to marry Tetsuyo (Gô Jibiki), a traditional family boy she met in a chat-site. Nanami does not have family or friends to attend the rigid ceremonial and hires the services of Amuro (Gô Ayano), who has a company that provides (for a price) actors trained to act as their relatives. Now living a comfortable and submissive life, Nanami could become a housewife dedicated to trivial tasks if one day a stranger would not come to her claiming that her husband is cheating on her girlfriend. Even shaken, at first Nanami continues acting like nothing knew, but when the stranger threatens to kill Tetsuyo, she yields to the demands and will find him in a hotel. In fact, it is nothing more than a job paid for by his mother-in-law (and architect by Amuro) for the purpose of destroying his marriage. Without a job and without a place to live, Nanami must again look for the help of Amuro, who offers him a housekeeper job in a closed mansion, and, being Amuro who he is, nothing is what it seems to be. Japanese drama with an original story and excellent performances, mainly by Haru Kuroki, who plays a shy (and almost apathetic) girl, who as a piece without self-will is thrown from side to side by the interests of others, especially those orchestrated by the amoral (and supposedly his friend), Amuro. Great movie! Of those who stay with you for days.

I'm not put any interest while watching this, but after 30 minutes everything changes. The duration is longer than I thought, but it's worth watching. Great Cinematography. Sooooo natural.Spoiler alert! The devil win, i don't know this spoiler or not, because u'll never understand if u are not watching this movie first. Watch this because of ayano san, his acting in this movie is super natural. I wanna kill his character but at the same time love him to. He is devil with porcelain face, work perfectly without notice. And his victim has been tricked all the time, and she never knows even at the end. I thought amuro san(ayano san) flirt nanami and being lover, never happen tho. But thats better because if they're together the movie just tastes romance, and that's not good. Need part 2 and see the next target of amuro san. Money is the key and amuro will do everything for every job that you give, that what i get from this movie. I cried at the end and still can't decided amuro san is pure evel or so

The visuals, cinematography, and acting were great. However, story was lackluster. The movie dares to have 4 stories drag in a 3 hour movie. The main female protagonist starts off down on her luck with risk of unemployment. However she meets a man online, gets married, then (without spoiling the story) we never see him again in the film. The truth is never revealed why it concluded that way. This trend continues with the actress meeting people but we never find out who they really are and what their motives are. We spend 3 hours in a movie but we do not even know the characters or get character development. That's right, the main protagonist doesn't learn anything through her journey. The music choice was beautiful, however it felt like a cop out since they used popular pre- composed music.

"It's so difficult to be naked!" cried Amuro, the mysterious *villain* like character in "Bride for Rip Van Winkle".Yes, in this world, we are always living under others' values. Those *others* love to attack you with their values without mercy. In Asian culture, this can be even worse. You may find less respects on people's life. Especially for the *elders*, who always have rights to criticize the *youngsters*. Traditional values always need to win, new values are always suppressed until it gets to the point to break through all the walls. However, lots of us prefer to be passive and live in our own shells.Not surprisingly, internet thus becomes so popular in Asia. Even in country like China where Internet censorship and surveillance has tightly implemented, a large population of netizens are easily spotted out there. It's just because people need a way out! They need their own space and supporters. And, they need to speak out for themselves.Although many lies exist in the viral reality, we probably still find truth and beauties there. And going beyond that, we find who we really are and whom we really need.
