Movie Haiku:On 2nd view, Rich is willing to concede that the condescending Japanese stereotypes in this film might also be described more benignly as "slapstick comedy." So we're giving this a pass, but we both agree that the hype for this mood piece about two alienated Americans abroad far exceeds the accomplishment.
