Review of My First Girlfriend is a Gal
Wow I read some of the other reviews and people just don't know what the word comedy means, or maybe just don't know how to let loose and laugh. Taking overall and enjoyment categories first. This is a solid 9 on comedy and enjoyment. There's plenty of gags in this movie and they're all very well done. Sight gags abound, double entendres everywhere, comic overreactions, all there. The characters are comical in and of themselves. It's all there. Just plain good fun. Characters: They are all stereotypes, while you may no people like them you'll never meet anyone quite as bad asthem in real life and in a few cases you can be really happy about that. They are all really funny on their own.
Something that needs to be mentioned. One of the characters has an unnerving fixation that's much more acceptable in Japan than the rest of world. I can easily see his presence destroying the series. I have to admit I nearly walked on the first episode over it and if it can't be overlooked it will make it impossible to enjoy the show.
Story: Avoiding spoilers it's a great change of pace from the usual formulas you see all the time. The MC here knows what he wants but he's not too sure of why he wants it, or how to get it. Him filling in that why and how, while beset by comic complications and the occasionally less than well meaning efforts of his friends are the story drivers. It works well to connect the comedy, and it's a not bad story in and of itself.
Art/Sound/Music: All a bit above average. Not really special but watchable.
It's Good light fun when you want something to laugh at or if you'd like to ask yourself if you were ever quite that bad..
