A boat load of plot devices and other things have been crammed into this film. In more skilled hands, the parts might have worked nicely together in a fine little movie. But for this film, the whole is far, far less than any summation of its parts. The movie is simply a poorly written, cast, directed, and acted production. Performance of the lead actress often consists of mugging and making guttural sounds of surprise/despair/relief/etc. Lead male actor (playing the husband) looks like a fugitive from a low-budged horror movie. The film is also way too long (it never seems to end!). Viewers might be tempted to hang in there for awhile with the hope that things will improve - they do not. Attempts at senior humor are decidedly not humorous. Pasted on animation (mostly the addition and subtraction of yen amounts) is cute for the first few times, but quickly becomes a stale irritant. Even the lively Latin favor of the music can not counter the boredom. There is egg in this film alright - on the faces of the movie makers. Viewed at a JICC Virtual J-Film event. WILLIAM FLANIGAN.
