Let me get started by saying that 'King Of Apology' is a really weird film. But that doesn't mean it's bad. Actually, I loved it. Sometimes the comedy is a bit hard to understand, but overall it's a very funny film. Also, it's very quirky. And I LOVE quirky films.
The story is probably the weakest aspect of the film. It's very original, but very weird too. The last act of the film should've been a bit shorter. I was surprised when I found out it was written by the screenwriter of Gomen ne Seishun and Amachan (then the weirdness of the story made sense). Anyway, the story is very fun and entertaining.
The cast is SPECTACULAR. Is full of great actors, but Sadao Abe stands out among the rest. He is GREAT. Mao Inoue is fantastic, as always. I don't know how she does it, but she seems like a completely different person in each role, even her voice changes. The rest of the cast is very good too: Machiko Ono, Masaki Okada, Yasuko Matsuyuki, etc.
The music was good, it really suited the film, but that music video at the end credits was just really strange and out of place. It's completely unnecessary (at least in my opinion).
Overall the film was really good. It's a very funny story, with great characters and acting. It also has a very positive message, which I really liked.
