This movie mixes a plethora of genres into a psychotic brew. Here you will find comedy, drama, romance, splatter, music video and action-comedy mixed together without any sense of direction. It seems that the director took seven different movies and cut and pasted them together into one flawed movie. It starts of introducing the viewer to the concept "yentown", where people from all around the world has immigrated to make some fast money. The people who didn't make it, has become outcast, also called "yentowns"
The movie's focus lies on a group of "yentowns" especially a prostitute called Glico (named after a candy bar), played by a talentless Japanese musician called Chara. She later becomes a famous pop star, in a pop band called, believe it or not, "yentowns". "Yentowns" has to be the most talentless pop group in the whole universe and makes Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera look like musical geniuses. But the director applies no sense of irony to their musical performances, and expects the viewer to actually enjoy these awful musical acts (for example a cover-song of Frank Sinatra: My way, witch must surely make him turn in his grave!). After that introduction, the movie gets weird and it's hard to find any logic behind any of the scenes. A lot of them focus on characters that haven't been introduced and does not have any linking to the movie as a whole. The scenes are just stands there alone without any foothold on the internal logic or the movie as a whole.
The movies is also unbelievable clichéd, the emotional scenes is laughable in their stupidity and shallowness. The filming technique has many similarities with 90's music videos, with a hand-held camera waging up and down, into a chaotic flurry, which doesn't contribute anything to the movie as a whole, but only make the movie, in certain parts of the film, unbearable to watch. On the upside I haven't laughed as hard at the cinema for years...
