This movie begins with a work presentation about women playing golf (presented by someone who didn't know he was going to present it). Yes, that's how this romantic musical about nerdy adults begin. You'd think it's a just bit that they quickly move past, but it just _keeps_ going. It's the strangest start of a movie I've ever experienced and I do kind of wish they had committed to it. It would be right at home in a "so bad it's good" movie which unfortunately does not apply to this one whatsoever.

I did go into this expecting a mediocre musical, but got something that chose to focus on a "is it cheating?" storyline rather than what actually made the original story interesting. Some things might be better appreciated by a Japanese audience that have personal experience with it (such as the Nico Nico Douga comment system), but it still remains....not good.

What happened? Did they just change the whole base of the original story and turn it into a musical? What doesn't make any sense, they changed the roles of the characters to put a love triangle that never existed in Wotakoi, they disregarded the friendship between them and forgot that the main thing in the story is the challenges of adult life for those who still have tastes that are considered "children's". It seems that the director never opened the manga, he only read the synopsis to do Live.
