Before watching The Ramen Girl I highly recommend you to think of your expectations and let them become adequate and reasonable. I can’t agree more – the biggest dose of negative reviews comes from too high expectations about the movie. Keep in mind, that the main aim of the film is to entertain you and it fulfills this aim perfectly. It entertains and puts smile on your face. So, the movie is about …

First of all, you’d better be attentive and understand that it is not a remake of Tampopo. It is a blistering movie where the two cultures meet – East meets West. I love the way the Japan culture is depicted in the movie and it is impossible but to notice how much filmmakers love this incredible country.

In a couple of words, the following movie is a touching story about a young girl, who was expecting that one day everything would be great and life can happen for her. This girl is simply lack of everything: money, attention, people around, time, feeling and passion. I love Brittany Murphy here, she is unexpectedly great as the ramen girl. She is natural and cute here and it is namely she who made the movie a movie and not a usual cheap flick.

To my mind, the story can be named “simply irresistible,” but it has vapoured till the end of the movie and it was sad. However, I really enjoyed this film and recommend you to watch it!
