Movie Review: The Sushi Challenge

By ABC DEF


click here for synopsis of the movie
*essentially, this movie is about how four girls strive to win a sushi-eating competition.


rating: 5 STARS!!

This show is the BLOCKBUSTER of the century!! Now let me justify why:

1. Sushi
Who don't love sushi? This movie is a slick 2-hour footage of Japanese food. Absolutely delectable food. A warning though, you may feel a little sick halfway through the movie. Do bring a plastic bag along.


2. THE amazing feat
You'd just have to ask:"How did they do it?" 53 plates of sushi were finished by 4 scrawny girls within three hours! Watch how they gorge down insane amounts of sashimi!! Too, see how they tore up a piece of sushi and buried it in various places-


3. Green man (and his friends)
The green man, and his clan. Supposedly, NO COMPUTER EFFECTS WERE USED AT ALL. Yet in the show, they were seen doing unbelievable stunts, namely making plastic covers fly in the air and multiple sushi fly into their mouths. And teleporting plates of sushi off the conveyer belt at a velocity of 5 plates per second! According to the producer of the show, they have mastered the ultimate skill, EATALOTOFSUSHI. In fact, the green man had reached the 9th level of EATALOTOFSUSHI and could eat with an increasing acceleration of 2.5 sushi per second. Awesome!


4. Near perfect music
Title says it all. There were oldies by Ayumi Hamasaki, Every Little Thing and Yuzu used in the movie. However, it seems angsty and majestic orchestral pieces would fit the mood better in some scenes. *spoiler alert* Somehow it just doesn't sound right with Ayumi Hamasaki singing "Fly High" while the main characters were weeping in defeat and raising the white flag in surrender. *spoiler alert*


So here I will end my personal opinions on the movie. Best to watch the movie on an empty stomach-believe me.
DVD will be out soon!
