By the end, it's curiously unformed, almost a blueprint for another movie.

Washington Post
Rating: 2/5 --
Ron Howard has as much business lamenting the death of the Rust Belt as Russ Meyer adapting Shakespeare -- and it shows.
Tyler Morning Telegraph (Texas)
Rating: 2.5/5 --
It's more cheerful than funny, and so insistently ungrudging about Americans and Japanese alike that its satire cuts like a wet sponge.
New York Times
Rating: 2/5 --
The stereotypes are too broad for comfort, despite some funny moments.
Flipside Movie Emporium
The hero, though funny, is ultimately unsympathetic, securing through his cosy pacts nobody's position but his own, while the upbeat ending justifies strike-breaking. With comrades like this, who needs class enemies?

Time Out
Rating: 2/4 --
A disappointment, a movie in which the Japanese are mostly used for the mechanical requirements of the plot, and the Americans are constructed from durable but boring stereotypes.

Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: 4/5 --
Delivers plenty of laughs and cross-cultural insights in this drama about the contrast between American and Japanese attitudes toward work.
