This was a rarity...a Japanese comedy. Subtle and based largely on the violation of social norms, it started slowly, letting us learn the characters, and then began piling up absurdities until the climactic scene had me laughing out loud.
Excellent cast...the scruffy con man who sets it all in motion...the hangdog husband who can't say no...and best of all the young wife whose wide-eyed look of stupefied amazement when things got really silly tickled me every time.
Underplayed to perfection...great fun.
