[2] A big movie fan, Mitani's comedy is littered with homages to famous scenes from Hollywood classics and Japanese masterpieces.

[3] As an example of homage, Eri Fukatsu sings on the crescent moon in the play, which is Woody Allen's Sweet and Lowdown, and the song is I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles, which Sean Penn sang to Samantha Morton.

Taiki Murata (Koichi Sato), an unsuccessful actor, and his manager Kenjuro Hasegawa (Fumiyo Kohinata) come to the port town of Skago to shoot a movie.

Koichi Sato, who deliberately plays the role poorly, makes us laugh, and I was glad to see his homage to many classic films.

[13] Ryoichi Maeda of "Super Film Critique" praised the unsuccessful actor played by Sato as a goofy, and as a sitcom, it was outstandingly entertaining.

Mitani appeared in 150 media outlets before the release date of June 7, 2008, and traveled around Japan in a campaign to become a billboard himself.

[1] On June 7, the first day of the film's release, director Mitani and leading actors Koichi Sato, Satoshi Tsumabuki, Toshiyuki Nishida, Eri Fukatsu, Haruka Ayase, Fumiyo Kohinata, Keiko Toda, and Goro Ibuki gave stage greetings.

[1] When he appeared on a Downtown's variety show to promote his film, he was punished and had Japanese horseradish stuck up his nose.

On the final night of the stage greeting on June 22, starring Koichi Sato and Susumu Terajima also made an appearance.
