Nurse no oshigoto: The Movie

This is a very funny movie with several goofy characters. It is set in a hospital where a hypochondriac takes the nurses hostage. Nurse Azakura is so distracted by having fun that she often gets in conflict with the head nurse Ozaki. Ozaki is in trouble with the chief nurse for being too lenient towards her nurses and patients. That's when a hypochondriac takes them hostage for not letting him admitted for an operation. The movie hits a seemingly unnecessary and melancholy wrinkle towards the end. It is so protracted that it almost saps away the good excitement that it has generated all along. Everything ends well so no worries.

Alisa Mizuki playing nurse Azakura is quite funny but the mannerisms of Uno Kanda playing Akagi take the cake. Nurse Ozaki switches between being playful and angry so quickly that it will surprise you.

I won't recommend this movie to anyone since it's not a good movie. The whole story is nonsense although sometimes it's quite funny. However I don't like the story because it's not focus in the couple's story but it has too many characters. Fujiki is quite funny but not that funny and the whole movie seemed rubbish especially the ending,it didn't explain much when she's survived from the shot. I feel deep regret after buy this movie. Actually it isn't that bad if the story can be more focused in the couple's story and make it makes sense. Hope they will make better movie.

A shameful for Japan movies that usually good, this one is terrible.

I must admit that when I started watching this I thought it seems like an average Carry On... movie, which I don't find at all amusing. I almost switched it off. However, I am glad that I persevered as it gets better and better. I ended up thoroughly enjoying it.

It's a very well made movie with plenty of laughs and good character portrayals. If you're in the mood for a break from reality and a good laugh I recommend this little gem.
