annoying divorced men

i watched white on rice as a late night relaxer. it's a comedy about a japnese guy who moves in with his sister and brother-in-law in the us after his wife leaves him. he's forty and has never really had a job and is a pretty annoying, dumb guy, but maybe in a charming way. he annoys his brother-in-law but his sister loves him. he falls in love with his niece (not related) although she doesn't give a shit about him.

the best part about this movie was the quiet view of everyday struggles to enjoy life and family, the nerdy, independent son and that the side kick from hero was in it. i missed that guy, even though i forgot about him until this movie.

i'm always looking for a good comedy and this wasn't really great, but it wasn't bad.

  1. i love, wait, the japanese guy from the show heroes? did you watch that? i thought the first season was great but it got lame after that. it'd be nice if there were more miniserieses, right?

  2. yeah, i never got through the second season. he's the japaness sidekick, although he's actually korean. why didn't they just cast japaness people?
