If you are a music lover like me, this is a must watch. Nevermind the language barrier, let the music speak for itself!
Set in Japan, where a group of high school girls decide to ditch math remedial during the summer holidays to deliver the lunches that the school's brass band forgot. One thing led to another and they find themselves on a musical journey, discovering the roots of Jazz - Swing, but through a long and hilarious way!
What I liked
Engaging storyline - most parts were exaggerated, but to add to the comic effect. It will have you tapping your feet and shaking your bordaye to the music.
Pretty Damn Funny - now this is subjective, some may not appreciate the japanese sense of humour! Pokes fun at certain stereotypes too.
Great Music - features mostly music from the great jazz boom era - early 20th century, as well as some classics like Ray Charles!
Great Gears!!!!! - Only in this movie can you see chicks rocking out Cream's Sunshine of your Love on a Ibanez Iceman and Fender Jazz Bass!!!
Feel Good ending - we're all suckers for it, ain't we?
What I didn't like -
Not enough music - again, another personal preference of mine.. perhaps some blues be included too! haha

All in all, great music movie, for all ages! Defintely one of my favourites!
