A Disappointing Continuation

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Sion Sono, the famous director from Japan, he is so versatile, he do all kind of movie, from weird to mainstream, all kind of genre explored. I never read this movie's plot, I just watch this because of his name, Sono-san. So, this movie is an original created by him, mixed all of genre from rags to richest, kaiju, fantasy, santa, a bit of romance in this what can I say a really interesting movie. Its weird but in a cute way. Its so funny to watch with all the awkward japanese moment. Only in japan.

Caught "Love and Peace" at the Toronto After Dark Film Festival as a double bill with his new "Tag", and what really clobbered everyone over the head was how versatile Sion Sono is. From surreal guts and gore in "Tag" to "Love and Peace", a heartwarming fantasy flick that really is fit for the entire family. The entire film feels like a labour of love, as if Sono is – working within a constrained budget – using everything he's got, every trick of the trade, to maximize what he's working with. I looked over a few times and the entire audience had big bubbly smiles from the first frame to the credits. And that's no small feat in a theatre full of jaded horror fanatics. Highly recommended for, well, everyone, old and young!
