GS Wonderland
"GS Wonderland" is about the 1960's Group Sounds bands - A Japanese pop movement inspired by the Beatles and other mid-1960's Brit Pop.
Three young men set out to start their own band "The Diamonds" when they are signed to a recording contract during their very first rehearsal. Things turn for the unexpected when their agent brings Mick (Chiaki Kuriyama) into the group as their keyboardist. All the believe Mick looks remarkably like a girl! (asianwiki-2008)
One of the few J-movie that it isn't slow. It has a good pace, the actors were good (personally, I love Takaoka Sousuke, the rival from The Knuckles) . The main song performed by The Diamonds is kinda catchy, and although I was hoping for more laughs, it was entertaining. I wonder of that era really existed in Japan... It was kinda funny to see all of them in hippie clothes!
The end was a bit meh. Maybe I did not really understand it... Anyway, it is less than 2 hours, which is WOW because most J-movies are 2 hours long. Easy to watch.
**My rating: 7/10**
