Synopsis

Based on the bestselling manga (graphic novel) by Aya Nakahara, LOVE*COM THE MOVIE (short for Lovely Complex) centers on two high school students. Risa Koizumi is the tallest girl in class, and the last thing she wants is the humiliation of standing next to Atsushi Ôtani, the shortest guy. But fate and the whole school have other ideas, and the two find themselves cast as the unwilling stars of a bizarre romantic comedy duo. As their friendship blossoms, so do Risa’s feelings toward Ôtani. LOVE*COM examines the often-complicated feelings and comedic moments of the experience of dating people of different heights. A girl, because of his short stature, previously rejected Ôtani and he thinks he looks peculiar with a taller girlfriend. Risa has the opposite problem, already tall and never finding a guy who is taller. These height complexes, and the romance that eventually ensues in spite of them, develop the Lovely Complex that this film is ultimately about.  -Asian Media Wiki

Review

This love story is really interesting, the idea of the concept of this Love story are differ with the other love story I has seen before. Yes, indeed height is not the matter. The development and the plot of this story are interesting, with some comedy besides the love development between the two  main cast. Well, even though their love story is quite simple and usually we heard and watch; girl like a boy, a boy rejected the girl even though he didn’t realize his true feeling to the girl until the rival come but with some comedy inside, its become something that are not bored to be watch.

About the cast acting, well frankly I quite annoy with the way Ema Fujisawa acting, her acting are not natural, but luckily Koike Teppei acting is quite amazing. For me, he is the life-saver and the Hero to this movie, with his cute image and his acting skill its make the audience not bored to watch it!
