Nothing to glaring or special, but this is definitely a fun watch! Frankly speaking, I have a soft spot for slice-of-life movies and dramas. Prior to watching this show, I already loved Okinawan culture and looking forward to go there. This show adds my enthusiasm and curiosity of it. The girl playing Mieko is so exciting to watch, I wonder why talent of this caliber so far hasn't make it big.
Trivia: the girl playing Mieko eventually plays in asadora Amachan (2013) as one of GMT 5 idol member. After 11 years, she is still the same funny, mood-maker though.

it's a light and entertaining film about s not so normal family and the main focus is on the character of Mieko, the youngest daughter of the family. she is a wild, crazy, cute, funny and adorable child.
following her you get to experience her summer holidays with her and you can feel okinawan lifestyle.
the movie is separated into different parts, each having a title of their own, showing different episodes of Mieko's summer adventures.
I loved the film so much, because of the main character Mieko, the mostly funny songs(for example the Hotel Hibiscus family song)and the wonderful feeling of going back to childhood. even though I'm not that old yet;D but it's a nice story to remind you that there were many mysteries and adventures when you were a child.
it also reminded me of the anime-movie 'Tonari no Totoro', so if you liked that or are a fan of Ghibli you will like this movie too!
