Judge!

2014 · 105 min Comedy
7.2 / 10 · TMDB

Ota Kiichiro, an unassuming advertising employee and perpetual scapegoat, is handed an absurd mission. His arrogant boss, Otaki Ichiro, sidesteps responsibility by dispatching his subordinate to Los Angeles as a judge for the world's largest advertising competition. Thrust into the glittering heart of the industry, the inexperienced and bewildered Japanese man must conceal his professional inadequacy while evaluating creative works from across the globe. This journey from the cramped office corridors of Tokyo to the sun-drenched promenades of California becomes a trial by fire, laced with surreal humor.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film expertly walks the line between office satire and situational comedy, using cultural dislocation to magnify the absurdities of corporate life. Its humor springs from the protagonist's profound discomfort amid the glittering excess of his temporary world.

What lingers after the credits is a warm, feel-good reminder that sometimes being thrown in the deep end is the best way to learn to swim. A charming and witty escape. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Akira Nagai

The glossy sheen of award reels against drab office grays; the palpable awkwardness of a fish out of water at glamorous poolside parties.
