Diamond in the Rough

As much as i hate to give away spoilers, any idiot should already figure out that the two (pic below) are going to end up together in the end. Now of course a savvy movie viewer would expect something to come between them and ruin their fun before the big happy ending, but that's just it. There's no plot twist, no sudden revelations and no death/illnesses (thank goodness for that; since too many films with diseases and sickness recently). Kind of ironic to call it 'Rough' when everything's so smooth sailing...

Without a doubt, the BESTest part of the movie is watching Yui and Masami in their bikinis and swimsuits.

One thing that also caught my eye is how tall Masami is (she's 171cm, that's taller than Ee Wei, Ming Wei and Alex!) and how awkwardly short Yui (158cm) looks when they're in the same scene. (below pic)

Did i mention that the movie revolves around swimming? And swimming doesn't exactly make for the most exciting sport subject for a movie (the same goes for tennis or golf). I wouldn't recommend this movie unless you really want to watch a bland sport-romance flick. Rating 5/10

Before i forget, here's a poster of the actors in the live-action Bleach musical:

Besides the rather flat singing, i enjoyed this stage presentation very much. Most of the actor/actresses playing the characters are about as close as i would imagine them to be if they were real. Entertaining stuff.
