Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2/4 --
A disappointment, a movie in which the Japanese are mostly used for the mechanical requirements of the plot, and the Americans are constructed from durable but boring stereotypes.

Chicago Sun-Times
Howard appears to have learnt surprisingly little about comic timing during his long tenure on Happy Days, leaving his star with little to do but force an inane grin and hope for the best.

By the end, it's curiously unformed, almost a blueprint for another movie.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
Keaton is lovable, as usual, but he comes across as a dumb jerk. This was an obvious attempt at 1930s-type social comedy. Social it may have been; comedic it wasn't.

The sort of movie that makes you understand why you don't much see Keaton anymore.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Drawn from real life, the conflict between cultures is good for both a laugh and a sober thought along the way.

Rating: 4/5 --
Delivers plenty of laughs and cross-cultural insights in this drama about the contrast between American and Japanese attitudes toward work.
