8UPPERS MOVIE REVIEW

Hi! I was able to watch Kanjani8's short film released in 2010, 8UPPERS(read as Patchi Appazu)! Tbh, I still can't tell which is which in Eito. The loser me. OTL. I just know Ryo, Yoko, Tacchon, and Maru. Like in KiS-MY-FT2 where I only know Tama, Taipi, Hiro, and Miyata, even though I've been watching both groups for almost 2 years now. XD Maybe because I'm too focused with Arashi & Hey! Say! JUMP.^^ But before I mentioned every other names of people in Johnny's, I'll go on with my review! XD



(Can't find a plot. Sorry. I'll just tell you that Kanjani8 members acted as 7 people now working, who grew up in an orphanage or something like an orphanage) Cast HERE.
---
RATING FOR ME: (1-10, 1 is the lowest and 10 is the highest) 8

About the story plot, scenes and characters:
It's admirable how they concluded the story in just more than an hour. There were no scenes wasted for me. I think the message of the movie is something to do with "never run away from your obligations" and that "people will be be happier when they are with family." In the short film, those message were conveyed. I love how a baby soften the heart of these 7 and mostly hard-headed people. Ace is a business-person character. Arsenal is a strange, kinda scary character. Jacky is a very chatty one. Gum is the masked-man. lol. Toppo is like, uh, geek? Ace is scorching HOT. and Johnny is, um the womanizer MOMMY JOHNNY AH~~~~ SO CARING ♥

About the actors'/actresses' portrayals:
Before I watched the movie, I read somewhere that 8UPPERS isn't too good, and it's just comedy or something. That you can't expect great acting from the Eito members. But then, when I started watching it, I was like "WTH. This isn't comedy. What is that review even saying?!" I'm not an actress of some sort, but I can say the acting of Kanjani8 members are really good on this movie. Yoko is still at his best acting. Ryo too. I have to say  really like Tacchon here. His role suited! I love Tacchon-mama now! XD For the other members, I can say they are good, even though it's my first time to see them act.


NOW ON TO THE SPOILERS. IF YOU DON'T LIKE SPOILERS, YOU SHAN'T KEEP ON SCROLLING.


You just have to know. XD


Jacky & Toppo :)


Mac & Johnny-mama! ♥

And I'm sorry Ace have to be left behind. XD


Ryo is so thin. :| And if you can't see, yes, he's holding a cigarette.
He smoked a lot in the movie. The only thing I dislike in this film :/
