"Sister Act" Japanese rural style, with no mafias involved. Funny
and feel-good story of the low-self-esteem high school girls' revelation
of fun and friendship through Jazz music. The actresses who acted jazz
girls actually started learning all the instruments from scratch for the
movie, and if you think about it, the ending performance by them is just
amazing and moving. Combining the jazz music in the background, the movie
really made me swing with them.
