A Beautiful Woman Forced to Choose Between Two Losers
Uriah439 April 2022
This film essentially begins with a 17-year-old girl by the name of "Saki" (Ayako Yoshimura) finally capitulating to her boyfriend "Sotoo" (Mon Muso) and engaging in sex with him on a nearby beach. Feeling somewhat frustrated when it is all finished, she subsequently decides to go back home on her own. Along the way she catches a ride with a slightly older man named "Ataru" (Yuya Uchida) and after some conversation decides to have sex with him the next day. To her surprise, she becomes pregnant not too long afterward and decides that since she enjoyed her encounter with Ataru then he must therefore be the father. To her dismay, however, she then discovers that both Sotoo and Ataru have two completely different reactions to her pregnancy and because of that she has to decide whether to keep it or not-and which person settle down with. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this was one of those films that relied quite heavily upon its erotic content to keep viewers interested. Yet, in spite of the fact that both Akayo Yoshimura and Minako Mizushima were quite attractive, none of the scenes involving sex were all that interesting. At least not to me. Of course, the fact that both of the male characters were such complete losers may have had something to do with this, but in any case, I didn't find this movie to be that entertaining and I have rated it accordingly. Below average.
