I was hesitant to watch this movie as it sounded pretty generic to me, but gosh I was wrong!
This charming movie was really entertaining; it combined comedy, slice of life and drama genres effortlessly and was a very sweet movie.
The 5 main characters all have very different personalities, stories and struggles, and each one is developed really well, I enjoyed watching the antics of each character. The acting from all 5 members was pretty good, being early days in their acting careers.
The music perfectly reflects the rock/rebelling feel of the movie. The contrast of these rock themes with the schoolyard songs is again reflective of youth against maturity.
I definitely feel this is a movie that can be re-watched over and over due to its easy pace and interesting storylines.
It very well embodies the average life struggles, highs and lows of teenage boys as they move inevitably towards adulthood.
For an Arashi fan this is a must-watch, but even non-fans are sure to get something out of this movie!
