Densha Otoko (Takayuki Yamada) is prototypical nerd in his 20s who has lived his life without even receiving a thank you from a girl let alone go out on a date with one. All this changes when he rescues a pretty girl (Miki Nakatani) from a drunk in the subway. Not knowing how to proceed, he confides in his only friends, the faceless profiles in a chat room. Soon he is out to woo her with the power of the chat room behind him. The film could have had more dimension and depth if more attention was paid to the lives of the characters in the chat room. Sans that it is just a cute and cloyingly sweet chick flick that winds down to its inevitable end.Rating: * +
