I started to watch this soon after I got it. The Summary I read about said it was funny but I found it to be a bit slow in the beginning.
One girl, Maho Nonami, to the left in the pic was pretty unattractive and her roommate, Eiko Koike was better looking but not by much mind you...I kept watching out of curiosity since I wasn't ready to watch the whole thing right then and there. I wasn't much impressed with it; but I'd gone thru the trouble of getting it so I may as well watch the movie. Worst case, I would fall asleep and get a nap out of it.
When I finally sat down to watch the whole thing, I thought it was good. It wasn't "HAHAHA" funny but it had its moments. The fight scenes were funny...I'll give it that. The ending, also funny in a sad way.
Eiko Koike and Maho Nonami are Nozomi and Rana (no surnames in the movie). They're aspiring actresses and roommates. When the movie starts, we find out that both girls had just auditioned for the same part in a new film "Yakuza Wives". While they wait for the phone call to find out if either one gets the part, they start to fight about stupid little things and you realize that they really hate each other. The funny parts were mostly when they were fighting, though in the beginning, when they're talking to each other, the sarcastic remarks are hilarious.
I didn't expect the final showdown to go down the way it did...despite my inital thought that it was somewhat slow and boring in the beginning...once Rana arrives home, that's when the fun started.
