What Would Toto Watch?

Big Man Japan shows a good mockumentary needs more than killer concept to make us howl.

Honolulu Star-Advertiser

An affectionate parody of Japanese giant-monster hero shows to make points about the unraveling of Japan's cultural heritage.

Chicago Reader

This inspired 2007 send-up of the atomic-monster genre gets a fair amount of comic mileage from Daisato (played by the director) being anything but a big man.

The movie doesn't get truly weird until the Power Ranger-style superheroes show up, and the special effects get even more low-rent. Then it really takes off.

As in life, the nonmonster stuff goes on too long. But wait until the giant baby shows up.

Cinefantastique

Big Man Japanis built around a funny concept, vaguely akin to Hancock: its title character is a superhero who is a bit of a loser.Unfortunately, the concept is not enough to sustain entire the film.

San Francisco Chronicle

The film, written, directed and starring stand-up comic Hitoshi Matsumoto has, like most superheroes, a tragic flaw: It isn't funny.

New York Post

At nearly two hours, Big Man Japan is clever (in a sick sort of way) but overlong. It needs judicious editing -- more mockumentary, fewer superhero antics.

This is Matsumoto's first feature (he's a famously odd Japanese comedian), but it's a distinctively bizarre piece of work. Remember the name.

The movie's shambling, matter-of-fact approach to pulpy material is funny, as is its steadfast avoidance of visual hype.

Somewhere there is a stranger film than Big Man Japan, but it would be hard to find.
