Brother's Friend (2018)

This movie is one of the most adorable movies I have seen. It has a super strong anime feel to it. It seems pretty cartoony as well because of the sound effects during the character's actions. This movie was very funny and has a lovable cast. It's a little bit over the top but it's supposed to be. There is some drama but this movie is for the most part very light. It doesn't get tragic or dark. Even the jerky characters were likable and really added to the comedy. There wasn't a single character I disliked. Give this movie a watch. It is light, funny, adorable, and romantic. ;)

With a stern focus on romance, the main characters meet, fall in love at first sight then confess their feelings to begin a relationship, making this movie about the hardships of dating. These aren't really hardships as much as they are misunderstandings and miscommunication though, leading to some very unnecessary and dragged out conflict. With a few extra supporting characters thrown in there, to both wreck and fix their relationship, the journey continues, frustratingly.

In my opinion,

the characters had little to no personalities which prevented them from being relatable and the fast pace made their love seem so shallow that their feelings were hard to believe. The acting was a bit on the beginner side, which is very common in this type of genre but I can't say the script was of any help since the dialogue and the screen writing, over all, could have been better.

This type of relationship is actually pretty uncommon in Japan. The newer generations have become more daring and forward as well as less conservative when it comes to dating and skin ship which makes this movie feel a bit irrelevant and clueless about it's country's youth current stand point. This is actually a pretty big deal breaker for me, lowering the enjoyment quality by quite a bit.

BUT

If you like awkward romance movies with very little skin ship and miscommunication based misunderstandings but don't care much about characters personalities or developments then

ENJOY!!
