WHITE ON RICE-THEATRICAL TRAILER from Dave Boyle on Vimeo.

bigWOWO Rating: Asian American Silver

(Minor spoilers to follow.  You all might be able to see this On Demand with your cable service.)

This one was a hard one to rate. Everything was good about this movie except the main character. The main character, a creepy FOB name Hajime who goes by the name Jimmy, is deadweight to what otherwise was a fun movie. Sometimes dorky characters are endearing, but this dork is creepy and obnoxious. He lost me at the first ten minutes or so when he humiliates a tall Japanese woman with whom his sister Aiko sets him up. After that scene, he never redeemed himself in the eyes of this WOWO. It didn’t help that he was chasing a woman half his age. Creepy. He singlehandedly brought this movie down from a gold to a silver.
