Swing Girls (English Subtitles) Standard Edition Customer Reviews

I have many Japanese movies of all sorts but this movie i recommended to the Seattle library and they bought it so i stand by my selection as my favorite movie.I would give a ratingof 100 stars but their or only five.

I found this movie to be very appealing, especially since I love Jazz. I'm glad the directior (same as WATER BOYS) decided to go the route of some real music. I think everybody in this movie did a great job. I found the movie to be comical and good on story. I recommend this film to those who look for something different in music and story.

"Swing Girls" is an exhilarating comedy, with great, funny moments and you can just feel good while you watch it. And the feel-good effect will last for some hours afterwards, that's for sure! The actors are excellent. Actually all the musical pieces in the film have been performed by themselves, and not dubbed at all, which is just very impressive. They have been taking music lessons for several months beforehand at the Yamaha Music School - whose headquarters appear in the film - since not many of them knew how to play an instrument (in real life). I think it's just brilliant how talented they are. The DVD is a little gem, packed with extras, everything superbly produced, masterly directed and beautifully acted. In one word: perfect.

A comedy about a group of girls who want to ditch class and end up forming their own jazz band and finding out how great jazz music can be. There are a lot of great characters and the story does not disappoint.

The film was not only charming, but funny as well. Unlike other Hollywood comedy, the movie does not overexaggerated with overuse of music and acting. I love the way how high school girls form their relationships with each other and go through the hardship to form their own jazz group. It is very heart-warming film with great comic relief. Highly recommended!!
