White on Rice 2009

White on Rice (2009)
White on Rice 2009:  Jimmy, a divorced 40 year old man moves in with his sister and her family.  This is a comedy but it's not very funny and you are hoping it will be short and over soon!!  Jimmy can't do anything right, his brother-in-law can't wait for him to move out and he's just arrived.  His 10 year old nephew Bob is entirely the opposite of Jimmy, he has car washing and lawn mowing jobs, he even takes credit cards and gives receipts for the charge, he goes for piano lessons that his family doesn't know he's taking, he doesn't have homework, all his work gets done during school hours.  Jimmy's niece Ramona comes to stay with the family for a short time and instantly Jimmy is sure she will be his wife.  Watch this movie only if you intend to do 3 or 4 other tasks at the same time or take a nap.  2* (I didn't like this movie)

86 min, Comedy, directed by Dave Boyle with Hiroshi Watanabe as Jimmy, Yki Nae as his sister Aiko, Justin Kwong as his nephew Bob, Mio Takada as his brother-in-law Tak and Lynn Chen as his niece Ramona.

NOTE:  Blockbuster 2 1/2*, imdb 5.9 out of 10, Rotten Tomatoes 45% critical 55% audience
