We are not afraid of a strict cop! There were those nimble times when we all wanted to hooliganize, pissing off teachers, school principals and especially district! In my memory, I only harassed drunks from the next door and when I was little. In high school, a realization emerged in the brain that teasing people is bad! But Japanese high school students see a completely different opinion on this issue. In fact, they are not illegal tricks and adventures today we will consider.
In general, we have a motley group of guys, among them, as a selection: Energized, fat, simpleton, future yakuza, with a complex of honor, boy-pai, znayka-astronomer and pervert. Guys have fun, indulge, forcing with nostalgia to plunge into the days when the world has not yet taken over computers, phones, the Internet, when we in search of thrills went to the woods, basements, abandoned buildings, morgues (I had a very strange childhood), and did not type such requests on the Internet. So, the mischief of friends is threatened by the newly made district officer. From this moment, a real war begins, between the minister of order and cheerful children. Guys are all more sophisticated to come up with plots, but the cop is not baldly sewing, also ready to give an answer to the attacks of young tomboys. But, a straightforward story about the confrontation of people of different ages should not be expected. Let’s say so, the confrontation between schoolchildren and the precinct is rather a prerequisite to the main development of events and veiled morality, that adults were also once children, but alas forgot about it.
Overall, the movie is not bad. It has a place to laugh, think, and just enjoy the beauty of the picture. But, for the general protractedness of this order is not enough. The first half of the film is gradually rocking, gradually acquainting the viewer with the main characters and their features. And then there is another problem that not all characters start to like, here I speak purely for myself. First of all, I did not like the main character of Mamatyari, because he came out with a hypertrophied crook, with attempts on the imaginary leader. Although I must admit that my opinion about this character, began to transform into a positive side already in the second half of the film, where the main action actually unfolded. The transformation of the character was really visible, and perhaps not alone. When the guys rallied for a good cause, you really begin to believe that such seemingly hooligans can really grow a decent society.
Over. Funny, sometimes romantic, sometimes dramatic, but still not perfect comedy film. The protracted plot is quite normal for Japanese cinema, and those who easily digest it, this creation can quite go hurly. I really liked the morality, but still a little upset the ending. You can watch, but not necessarily.
