This movie is opening here in Japan today. We wrote about this story back in May when we saw the statue of the famous dog at Shibuya Station.
When I first heard about the movie I thought it was really strange that the story had been relocated to Rhode Island (RI has a commuter rail now? Wow, I have been gone a long time!) and starred Richard Gere-what? But the Japanese people we've talked to don't seem to mind. They love Richard Gere because he once came on a talk show here and brought the show's host a gift which nobody had ever done. So anyway, it's a big deal in Japan.
Wonder if The Cove will be as big of a hit here?
It's the Feel Good Bummer of the Summer!
