Losers hit jackpot in comedy stakes
The odds of two brilliant Okinawan comedies opening the same day are high but not impossible, somewhat like the odds of the same director (James Cameron) making two all-time worldwide box-office hits (”Titanic” and that other film about blue aliens).
Both “Kazura” and “Boys on the Run” open Saturday and both are good, if in quite different ways. If you’re a balding, lonely, middle-aged male, “Kazura” is more likely to hit home; if you’re nerdy, clueless and dateless, it should be “Boys on the Run.” If you’re all of the above, get a life, brother, not a movie ticket.
