" Linking Love " had an interesting idea to use as a trigger point to basically present an japanese idol girl group.

This movie, first of all, will appeal mainly to idol group fans. And that because the second half was full of music and music acts, with cute choreographies and flashy costumes. I do wish they focused more on the bonding of the group members and not just some of them, or at least a more proper introduction to some of the girls.

The main story about the family bonds was nice though. The two main characters had nice chemistry and they had many bonding moments. However, the story line abouth what made the parents broke up in the first place, or the girl's dreams of becoming an idol and her struggles, or the fantasy part, were not nicely and in depth explored. Maybe if this was a drama, every aspect of the story would have more room to be properly developed.

Finally, the performances were good, especially from the leading lady, who was adorable and bubbly. The music acts were good too.

So, overall, five out of ten.
