Movie Info
When a western Pennsylvania auto plant is acquired by a Japanese company, brokering auto worker Hunt Stevenson (Michael Keaton) faces the tricky challenge of mediating the assimilation of two clashing corporate cultures. At one end is the Japanese plant manager (Gedde Watanabe) and the sycophant (Sab Shimono) who is angling for his position. At the other, a number of disgruntled long-time union members (George Wendt, John Turturro) struggle with the new exigencies of Japanese quality control.

Apr 16, 2014Gung Ho is a brilliantly hilarious political satire from director Ron Howard. Starring Michael Keaton, Gedde Watanabe, George Wendt, John Turturro, and Mimi Rogers, the cast is quite strong and gives some really good performances; especially Keaton, who's comedic gold. The story follows a closed down car factory that gets reopened by a Japanese company, but the differences between the American and the Japanese work ethic soon puts the factory's future in jeopardy. The comedy is well-written and does an impressive job with the cultural humor. A good natured film about friendship and teamwork, Gung Ho is tremendously fun and entertaining.Dann M Super Reviewer

May 20, 2007Half hearted culture clash comedy packed with racial stereotypes and (surprise surprise) life lessons. The fact that the arrogance of the US workers wavers when they come to understand their japanese counterparts gives the film some small merit, but it's horribly contrived and just plain unfunny.xGary X Super Reviewer
