Para Para Sakura (2001)

Summary: Where's the ParaPara?
From the name of the movie being Para Para Sakura (though HKMDB classifies it as Sakuya, but anyways), I expected some actual Para Para dancing, and what I got instead was a weak attempt at a love story. I had seen another of the summer films a few days ago, Love on a Diet, and I liked that a whole lot more then PPS for a love story. Anyways, my two-cents on this film that it wasn't that great of a love story, though if you want to see Aaron dance here it is. The huge dance scene towards the end of the film seemed a little out of place. Also the ending was rather bland as the movie sort of went downhill in the second half when Aaron's character gets all depressed. Wrapping up this review and my random thoughts... the opening breakdance scene was awesome, the love story was nothing exciting, and they didn't do any Para Para dancing until the very very end of the film. Now I'll go watch some better films and play Para Para Paradise to get basically the same effect I was hoping for in this film. 6 out of 10.
