An amazing movie! One of my very favorites. And CSM's review on this film is totally wrong...did they watch the same movie I did? It's actually pretty clean for an R-rated film, there's one raunchy strip club scene but besides that it would definitely earn a PG-13 rating. They say it has very strong language but I bet there were less than 10 cuss words througout, and not one of them was the F-word. Wierd.

Absolutely loved it
Really wonderful acting by both Bill Murray and Scarlett Johanssen. If you've spent any time in the Far East on business or lived as an expat, you'll be in hysterics. This is an R movie and not for kids under 17.

One of my favorite movies, OK for teens to watch.
Aside from brief nudity, this is a really 'clean' film. The R-rating is a bit absurd. Still, it's a slow, thoughtful movie that probably will bore kids - only mature teens and adults will appreciate it. I think it's one of the most beautiful, life-affirming movies ever made, although if you don't enjoy a good slow-paced movie you will probably dislike it.

Completely charming and uplifting.
Brilliant, beautiful, funny, wise film. Manages to be both fun and melancholy simultaneously. I've seen it more times than I care to admit. The two main characters remind me of friends I've had.
