Tora the matchmaker Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
"Tora-San Plays Cupid", the twentieth film in this great series, is packed with all the elements we've come to expect from a Tora-San movie, plus some explosive surprises! The hulking but hunky Ryosuke (Nakamura Masatoshi), a lineman for the electrical company, is a boarder at Toraya. He is head over heels in love with sweet Sachiko (Ootake Shinobu), a waitress in a local restaurant, but is too shy to approach her. Tora decides to play matchmaker, with results so disastrous that the disappointed Ryosuke almost blows up the sweet shop. Ryosuke then flees to his hometown in Kyushu.

When Tora learns that Sachiko still has feelings for Ryosuke, he journeys to Kyushu to bring Ryosuke back to Tokyo so he may patch things up with his true love. Tora meets Ryosuke's lovely sister (Fujimura Shiho) and, naturally, he too falls head over heels in love. Will we have not one, but two, engagements?

Watch this charming and warm-hearted film to find out. Nakamura Masatoshi is terrific as the bumbling, tongue-tied Ryosuke, but it is Ootake Shinobu who really lights up the screen in this film. She is simply adorable! (She was equally adorable 21 years later when director Yamada Yoji called upon her again to star in his excellent film "Gakko III: The New Voyage".) I heartily recommend this very entertaining movie.
