Naomi Shimizu is a young career woman working for a prestigious fashion house. That is until one day the company declares bankruptcy. Accustomed to living in luxury she tries to make a run for it with the last remaining company asset, a red Alpha Romeo sports car. Unfortunately she recklessly collides with an bicycle messenger. Lacking any funds to pay for a settlement, the injured messenger convinces her to work as a bicycle messenger in his place until his injuries heal.
A little action, comedy and romance make this quite an enjoyable film even for those of us who aren't SMAP fans.
I remember in the wake of this film having groups of school children shout "Messenger!" at me on my morning commute, and that the bicycle stores make a killing selling replicas of the TREK bicycle Tsuyoshi's character rode in the movie.
Its good fun, and entertaining enough for me to own the DVD. I must dig it out and watch it with the kids this weekend.
The delivery guy was prompt and polite. In the crazy world of courier companies only a few have withstood the test of time and continue to provide a higher level of service.
