91A clever, charming, laugh-out-loud-funny road comedy that works in almost every scene.
-
90Delightful, delicious, de-lovely.
-
83Clever, laid-back.
-
80Not to mention the good-when-moody, best-when-raucous art-band soundtrack!
-
80A kicky little comedy that shows Quentin Tarantino's influence is alive and well in Japan.
-
80A rip-roaring romantic comedy that's as funny as it is light on its feet.
-
80Mr. Yaguchi's film is so brazenly cheerful and charmingly engineered that even the sourballs in the cast are sucked in.
-
80A pleasure because of zany developments like this, and a healthy dose of amusing characters.
-
75Its amiable acting and feisty visual humor make it a must for fans of Japanese film.
-
75A high-energy chase, but in this spirited action comedy Yaguchi still finds time to allow the romance between lovers on the run to blossom at its own pace.
-
75A goofy genre-buster that takes its amateur criminals as seriously as ``Pulp Fiction'' or ``Run Lola Run'' did theirs.
-
75This overall good feeling helps smooth over the sometimes shocking lapses in logic.
-
75There's plenty to like about Adrenaline Drive, including the appealing, sympathetic performances of its two young stars and the tongue-in-cheek humor that pervades the film.
-
75It's not an art film. The movie is as mainstream as it gets -- which is just fine; the picture is both great fun and gently satirical.
-
70A perfectly enjoyable and occasionally charming ride.
-
70Brims with youthful exhuberance, it just needs to cut to the quick a little quicker.
-
67Feels for all the world like a Meg Ryan/Billy Crystal heist comedy transposed to the Far East.
-
63It has terrific moments, but whenever it starts to cruise along nicely, it hits a comedic pothole that forces it to sputter on down the road.
-
63A witty and quietly charming road comedy.
-
60Supremely silly on the surface but full of sophisticated sight gags and deadpan humor.
-
60As disposable fun, this is every bit as enjoyable and as forgettable as most Hollywood equivalents.
-
50Feels like any number of forgettable American teen comedies in which the nerd gets the girl and/or the money.
-
50A climactic explosion is too obviously a rigged gunpowder charge, and it becomes a metaphor for the film's mistake of diminishing the frantic motion that kept things fizzy and fun.
-
40Little more than a cartoon, and not a funny one at that.
