Hunt gets what he asks for, but gets a curve ball thrown at him when the Japanese bosses agree to his proposition only if the the plant will be run by the Japanese--who have a far more strict work ethic and expect undying loyalty from the workers. The concept of seven day work weeks and mandatory free overtime doesn't go over big with the American employees, leading to a constant clash between the workers and the management. This amusing culture clash comedy was the directed by Ron Howard. [More]

The stereotypes are too broad for comfort, despite some funny moments.
|
|||
|
The sort of movie that makes you understand why you don't much see Keaton anymore.
|
|||
|
Ron Howard has as much business lamenting the death of the Rust Belt as Russ Meyer adapting Shakespeare -- and it shows.
|

|
Check it out again and tell me if it still stands up. Keaton's performance aside, there's not much worth seeing.
