"It gets 3 because the whole movie the girl never really learned the language. She learned some words but still didn’t emerge herself into it. Was a nice film, but her not willing to learn the language bothered me so much. The writers having the girl say over and over again “I don’t understand you” made me feel no sympathy for the character. I mean I guess it was a way to side with the owner of the shop who kept calling her stupid and ignorant. Some his comments had a point though lol. "
"I just watched this and it is just a great movie. In Japan, being a master ramen chef is a big deal. The movie is listed as a rom com, but it’s more of a motivational movie. I love what I call a little big movie. This is little in that the plot is not about a murder or saving the world. The plot is about a woman finding herself and who she is. It’s a big movie in the plot is about someone searching and finding out who they are. If you are looking for something that just feels good and magical this is one for you "
