A fun little oddity. The story is crackpot and it's not a film that takes itself too seriously, but it's all very kooky and well-paced. Don't expect mad production values or crazy special effects, the alien looks like a literal teddy bear animated in the most rudimentary way, but that just adds to the charm. There are some superb cameos here (Sabu, Osugi, Taguchi) too, the level of weirdness is pleasant and the film doesn't overstay its welcome. Take away the alien premise and it's a very basic film, then again, that's probably why they decided to add it. Good fun, if you're fine with some light fluff. Read all
