I read somewhere that this was set in an American School in Tokyo and that sounded interesting to me, so I gave it a shot. I love cross-cultural stuff plus an amnesiac teenager sounded fun. I liked the story a lot. It was cute in spite of being predictable. I haven't read the book or anything but for a teenage movie it was quite good.
The characters were interesting and I liked who Naomi ended up with. I saw that coming from the very beginning. Okay, somewhat irrelevant but I was liking Maki's longer hair till she cut it off and went back to her own short hair. LOL. I thought she looked cuter with longer locks.
I was excited when I saw Emma Roberts in it. I thought she should have been given a bigger role (yeah, I remember this is a Japanese movie). The English being spoken was awkward and funny. The narration of the whole story is a fun ride.
I loved the soundtrack of this movie. It has some great tracks which doesn't let you get bored. The film got dragged in some parts, but the cinematography was pretty decent.
Overall it is a likable movie. I was worried about tragedy occuring because we have a 'dark' character in it but it was happy all the way. I liked the end, by the way.
