I thoroughly enjoyed this odd little movie... It's very funny, but it has a couple of gut punches that you better be ready for.

In its unique mix of seriousness and comedy, the film presents a series of disappointments in a young woman's life that cumulatively convince her to take control of her own destiny.

We know she is 100 Yen kind of a gal. She says so herself. But would she stay a loser forever? The film is a total underdog story that largely relies on Ando and she gives, hands down, the best performance of the year here.

Begins as a tragic family drama, but is remodeled into a social one, attempting to demonstrate the ugly aspects of the Japanese society: Family troubles, dysfunctional relationships and the fear of solitude that can drive one to extreme actions

4.5/5

A hugely entertaining yet emotionally draining experience, 100 Yen Love takes its audience from hilarious highs to tear-inducing lows. ... An adrenaline-fuelled euphoria.

I read a few positive reviews of this film before sitting down for 2 hours to take it in. I wasn't convinced by Sakura Ando's pretend acting to be so weak at the beginning of the film. Then in the boxing scene at the film's close, after watching all the hard spent training to hone her into a strong focused athlete she gets into the ring and suddenly forgets all her training and gets pummeled. Even for a Japanese drama film this all just appeared too nonsensical. In the love hotel scene she suddenly can move a muscle, but a few scenes before she physically attacks her sister without reserve. The glaring inconsistencies were a turn off.
