The Happiness of the Katakuris Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
This film is wild but very funny. I enjoy that kind of unexpected but silly humours. I'm a big fan of Kenji Sawada. Although he didn't look too hot in the film, you could still feel his charisma in the singing scenes. Overall the casts are likable and the film is entertaining.

what is happiness? Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
as much as i admire miike's more disciplined stuff like "audition", "katakuris" just sent me over the edge! it has over the top performances from an ALL-STAR cast, gloriously spoofing themselves, fighting, loving, singing and dancing together as only a family can! then there's that cute little white dog, POCHI! ... What exactly is cut from the US 90-min edition?

Quite good DVD for awesome Miike movie Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
The Happiness of Katakuris is a comedy musical about what makes a family happy. As already seen, Miike has strong believes upon the union of love and family (Bizita Q is a great example), this movie is no exception, and like the rest of his films, he tries to develope this classic idea with a crazy ritual of funny stupidity.

I won't judge the technical quality of the movie as it's clear the low budget that Miike works with, but I shall recall that sometimes the cheapest can get the best (or a rather good) effect.

The DVD release is good enough not to harm the vision of the movie, but isn't any wonder. The telecine seems to have some problems, but it's ok compared to the average HK DVD quality. At least, runs 23 minutes longer than the USA version (HK DVD = 113 min. USA DVD = 90 min.).

miike mania Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
This is a takashi miike film, a rollercoaster-ride into fun, fantasy and wickedness. Not a yakuza film, but as musical. Miike lovers will love this movie beacause of it`s diversity. This is miike like you`ve never seen before. Singing, dancing and killing. A must have for miike-fans.
