People Just Do Nothing: Big in Japan

Parents need to know that People Just Do Nothing: Big in Japan is a hilarious feature-length comedy mockumentary, based on a British TV show, and features strong language and drug use throughout. When a small pirate radio station called Kurupt FM discover one of their tracks is popular in Japan they head to Tokyo to make the most of their newfound fame. At its core, the film is a study of friendship and loyalty, and the importance in remembering who, and what, is truly important in life. It ridicules the culture of its central characters, but does so affectionately. The same affection can be said of the way the film highlights the cultural differences between the British and the Japanese. Most of the humor is generally without malice, although some jokes could be deemed offensive. There are jokes about masturbation and in one scene a character is seen naked, but his private parts are blurred out. The language is strong, with several uses of the word "f--k," "p---yhole," and "pr--k." Drug taking and references to are incredibly frequent. One character smuggles ecstasy inside a condom that he inserts up his rectum. When it bursts during a flight, he has an incredibly unpleasant experience. Characters also drink alcohol throughout and smoke in hotel rooms despite it being illegal to do so.
