| Something must have gotten lost in translation, because the title is as misleading as "Does Not Soak Woman" and "How to Pick Girls Up!" There is not a lot of romance, just the usual first love jokes and misunderstandings between their friends and her parents. There is only one memorable joke when the doctor mixes up his test results, so now she is pregnant with his phantom sperm and he suspects her of cheating on him. He treats her like a maid while she is visibly pregnant until the doctor gets new glasses and he starts making it up to her. Somehow you wish there was a love triangle or a long lost twin to flavor up this movie.
Some relationships do contain a lot of bad jokes and awkward situations no one but the couple could understand why they cannot move past. Often those make for good movies. Not here. Here it felt like they just needed to throw in problems to see how the characters would react. No one grows from the previous mistake or shows anything worth identifying with. You never get anxious over what is going to happen because you realize that the director isn't crazy enough to do something drastic to change the character's lives, so you know that eventually the kids will end up all right. |
