Ok, while I didn't love this film, I did like it.

I like quiet, thoughtful movies and that's what I thought this was.

The scenery was cool and beautiful as was the peek into Japan. I've never been there so I found it interesting to see it.

Yes, it was a slow film. But I thought it was slow for a reason. We watch the guy get fed up with his life during a mid-life crisis, have a really cool week with a passing friend, and then grow up and go back home to his wife and family.

I laughed out loud a couple of times and felt good at the end of the movie.
