Buscemi handles it well enough, with a strong cast, making it look like a Jarmusch film. The elements are good, with decent acting, though the script seems to try to hard in parts. It perhaps never quite becomes enough of anything, with no clear moral to it, perhaps reflecting its characters.

This is okay. And while its influence may have be hailed, I found it a little cliched in parts, and somewhat troubling in others. No characters are likeable really, with the deadbeat American bar shown as a place where arseholes drink bad bottled beer and bourbon and shout abuse at their friends.

When you look past it starring Donald Trump and Steve Bruce, it's actually just a fairly weak re-hash of the jokes from the first film. Again, you really have to question the believability of the dreadful parenting, in what is the worst family in the world. Very phoned-in.

Overall, it is positive. It does feel like it's trying a bit too hard to throw I quirky humour in parts, but it has that brand of Japanese comedy where bizarre behaviour is met with an 'Eh?' I'm not quite sure what I've learnt, other than sitting on an Okinawan island with beer is the life. Have it.

Top level 'absolutely nothing happens' film. Almost to the point where I wonder why I'm even watching it. But it does have that quaint, idyllic charm, that I find comforting and relaxing, but boringly hate-filled at the same time. This is so nice it even has Ryo Kase in it drinking flagons of beer.

It doesn't always have the nicest flow, regularly switching between flashbacks and present day, jumping forward in time part way through, and so is a little clunky in parts. But it effectively communicates its key messages of wanting to paint a better picture in uncertain times.

There are some brilliant moments in this that feel technically ahead of its time, with good humour that also has a darker side to it. It represents change and how you can label yourself as anything to change your life, but to the point where it all becomes meaningless.
