This reminded me a little of the ensemble comedies of Koki Mitani, mixed with a murder mystery. It makes for a rather old-fashioned film, saved by a respectable cast and slick cinematography. The presence of Aoi Miyazaki in particular (it's been a while I believe) lifts this film up from mediocrity.
The plot isn't the most interesting and the characters are all caricatures. It's the secondary cast that has the most fun, but it's Miyazaki's charm that keeps the film watchable. it could've been a little shorter and the story could've been a bit edgier, but this wasn't the worst of its kind.
