Days of Youth (Gakusei romansu: Wakaki hi)

Featured image

Rather surprised to discover two people credited as writers of this silliness, as there isn't much of a story here. In fact, the movie felt like a 15-minute comedy one-reeler that dragged on for 103 minutes. Two writers, yet we are given no clues about the nature of the lead female character, who does little more than smile. But this isn't a film about women - it's all about The Lads, the days of frat boys' youth. Still, this does feature three young stars irrepressibly beaming cuteness - a timeless commodity that still sells well today.
