My review may sound a little bit bias, because I love this story so much. I've done its manga & anime and if this movie is messed up like all the previous shojo adaptation I'd watched, I will know it already but, I like it, I love it so much!

My review is suit for those who have read the manga and also have watch the anime. I cant position myself as a man who know nothing about its original source but I guess they will still like it. One thing that I gonna say is this movie is live up to my expectation!

As I said a lot of time before in my previous review about shojo manga adaptation for a lot of similar-theme movie is the plot line. Shojo manga always have 10++ volume of manga that have a lot of plot & sub- plot and it will be quite difficult for the writer to mix it all up in a limited movie duration that maybe can go as far as 2 hour of long. The big example is "Kimi Ni Todoke" which I think is too messed up and disordered. "Ore Monogatari" totally solve this main problem! How? Its easy, they just reconstruct the storyline by simplify it a bit without change the feel of the story. Take all the big moment in the manga & place it properly one by one in the story. For example, in the manga & anime, the introduction scene of Rinko who got harassed in the train is replaced with the street harassment where the culprit only run away without any hassle to go to the police station that will surely need more time to play in the movie. And so everything after that.

So, I can say that this movie works for me. I really like it, its so funny and heartwarming, maybe because I already know the whole story, I just really love to see how they dramatize the whole manga in this movie. Especially the kissing scene, it makes me burst out laughing. Only one thing disappointing me, the running scene. Looks like they cant get away from this stereotype. But its OK, its like a signature scene in many shojo movie, where the character will run to his/her love to declare their love. Overall, if you like the manga/anime, you will totally enjoy this movie! If not, you will still have the chance to love it! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

This is the good comedy, the story was originated from comic (in Japanese: Manga) and even with the limited budget the director had a good work in presenting the story and characters very well.

The story is about the clumsiness of teenagers to express their feeling to each other, which were cleverly cooked as this story in the good ways. The Gouda (Takeo) character was created as a good pair to his childhood buddy Sunakawa (Suna/Makoto); where Takeo is a strong, kind & unselfish, and Suna is handsome, cool & attractive and girls at their age are all around after Suna for attention. The complexity of the story began when Yamato (Rinko) came and blended to these two best friend. Where these three characters are be very careful not hurt others, and brings plenty of situational comedy.

The movie itself is nice, its situation, characters are well-set, as per Manga. If they have more budget I bet the movie can be made better. The story is originally made although we may see similar theme in plenty of movies, the way that the author expressing the character's thought and emotion is the key of this film.

I am not so sure about the English translation used since I watched it by listening to the Japanese dialogue, but the way I see it was well explaining the conversation well.

If you want to watch something nice, funny and close to Japanese culture this movie will give some vision. I watched this with friends and family and we all laugh so much. It really makes my day, look forward to watch something like this.

You must see this, specially the latest part after the end-roll :)

I can't claim to be familiar with the anime or manga that this movie is based upon, but I still decided to sit down to watch "My Love Story!!" (aka "Ore Monogatari!!") given my love and admiration for the Japanese cinema.

And it turned out that "My Love Story!!" actually was quite a nice surprise of a movie, and it was definitely more entertaining that I had hoped for. I had no prior knowledge about the movie or the storyline as I sat down to watch this movie.

The story is about Takeo (played by Ryôhei Suzuki) who hangs out with his suave best friend Sunakawa (played by Kentarô Sakaguchi). All the girls love and adore Sunakawa, so when Takeo one day saves Yamato (played by Mei Nagano) from a bully, he finds himself at the center of attention of a girl's admiration. And this is something that he is not accustomed to.

There are so many hilarious situations in the movie, and you will definitely be brought to laughter throughout the course of "My Love Story!!" And the wonderfully light-hearted, funny and romantic storyline is easy to follow and actually takes a firm grip on you as it leads you through the ups and downs of the storyline. Most of the interaction between Takeo and Yamato had me laughing, and it was very enjoyable to watch.

The acting in "My Love Story!!" was quite good, and it was nice to see some fresh, new faces on the cast list. Especially since they performed quite well individually and together on the screen.

The characters in the movie were equally charismatic and unique as the actual storyline was, so that was a definite plus, because these quirky characters fit right into the storyline.

I was more than genuinely entertained by "My Love Story!!" and if you are a fan of Japanese cinema and enjoy a good, wholesome romantic comedy, then you definitely should take the time to sit down and watch "My Love Story!!" if you get the chance.
