Lock-On Love (2018)
8/10
Funny, heartfelt and very sweet
17 November 2020
I just love how the Japanese manage to blend the typical hormone driven humor of teenage guys with wholesomeness and sweet romance. There is talk about girls and sex but unlike western, aka Hollywood movies, it never gets vulgar or promotes any kind of undignified behavior. The girl also provides a great contrast with her purity and her much more serious character and mature attitude. It's nice to watch her initially quite icy appearance slowly melting away under the dorky but charming guy's advances and a connection developing between them. They have really good chemistry and it helps that she's cute as a button too. Taishi Nakagawa (the main guy) is also very likeable. There are some funny side characters as well and while the story isn't anything special, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Just wholesome and nice.
