The Miracles of the Namiya General Store blends
Enjoyable but disjointed
This was an enjoyable movie, and the concept was interesting. But the writers fell a little short of tying everything in neatly together. I see what they were trying to accomplish, and to an extent the succeeded, but only party. The individual stories could have been more interesting and emotional, and the interwoven plots could have been better hashed-out.
At the end, it felt like they tried to hit the target and didn't quite get the bullseye. Part of the story was confusing, the way the sub-plots tied in together more than a little confusing. Similar movies have been done but a lot neater and tighter. The interwoven plot in this was a little unraveled.
All in all a good effort, but overall it failed to nail the landing.
