The New York Times by A.O. Scott
Mr. Yaguchi's film is so brazenly cheerful and charmingly engineered that even the sourballs in the cast are sucked in.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
What are people saying?

Baltimore Sun by Chris Kaltenbach
There's plenty to like about Adrenaline Drive, including the appealing, sympathetic performances of its two young stars and the tongue-in-cheek humor that pervades the film.

San Francisco Chronicle by Edward Guthmann
A goofy genre-buster that takes its amateur criminals as seriously as ``Pulp Fiction'' or ``Run Lola Run'' did theirs.

New York Daily News by Jami Bernard
Feels like any number of forgettable American teen comedies in which the nerd gets the girl and/or the money.

A climactic explosion is too obviously a rigged gunpowder charge, and it becomes a metaphor for the film's mistake of diminishing the frantic motion that kept things fizzy and fun.

Los Angeles Times by Kevin Thomas
A rip-roaring romantic comedy that's as funny as it is light on its feet.

Portland Oregonian by Kim Morgan
It's not an art film. The movie is as mainstream as it gets -- which is just fine; the picture is both great fun and gently satirical.

Austin Chronicle by Marc Savlov
Feels for all the world like a Meg Ryan/Billy Crystal heist comedy transposed to the Far East.

Not to mention the good-when-moody, best-when-raucous art-band soundtrack!

Seattle Post-Intelligencer by William Arnold
A clever, charming, laugh-out-loud-funny road comedy that works in almost every scene.
