Japanese family movie over-bubbling with kind humour cannot be summarised only as a story of an impoverished samurai from the early 19th century who ventures the time journey into the 21st century to make chocolate cakes. The English title of the movie "A Boy and His Samurai" suggests a clue to the story - a particular relationship between the extraordinary visitor, his admirer, as well as with the boy's vigorous mother. What is essential for a kid to grow straight? How can a kid change values of adults? To answers these questions one has to bite through mountains of sweets, which the samurai is able to produce as swiftly as if he were waving his sword. (Eiga-sai)

It was sweet like all the cakes I've seen, and unfortunately didn't offer so much as a morsel of anything good. I didn't heed Natascha's warning, and what a way to end it: drooling at the mouth :-D But luckily it's not just about the cakes (if it was, I'd have to stop before the end, get on a bus and go to some cake shop that makes such beauties), but also about the relationship between the Tokyo family and the Edo samurai, which was presented nicely, casually, clearly. For me, a family rabukomedi that doesn't have violent twists and ineptly planted misunderstandings. However, the typical Japanese ending didn't impress me much; it instead left me feeling a bit, though I have no idea why. I can ultimately call this a nice fairy tale that I can watch once and then forget. Do you want something unpretentious, with a relaxed atmosphere and good acting? Maybe a bit of a treat after lunch? Reach for this little film.
