Anticipated Japanese movie. Director Sion Sono. Director of Suicide Club, Why Don't You Play in Hell?, and Tokyo Tribe. This is a movie very different from his catalog. Weird but not too over the top. Sweet story. Almost cried in one scene. Very different. At times, it got annoying but the set-up and the ending was very sweet. This turned out to be a Christmas movie. The best Christmas movie to see with a kaiju turtle, a loser type who rises to music stardom, and talking magical toys. It was ridiculous at times but dammit that song was catchy. Enjoyed it.
7 out of 10.
