Portly television comedian Muga Tsukaji and former male model Shosuke Tanihara team up to deliver laughs in this Japanese comedy about a talented-yet-unattractive chef who becomes irresistibly handsome after being fitted with a revolutionary "handsome" suit. Takuro Ohki (Tsukaji) may make a mean tempura, though the ladies flee in horror thanks to his abrasive behavior and repulsive fashion sense. A friend's wedding fast approaching, Takuro heads for a local clothing store to pick out a tuxedo. But the tailors here are especially talented, and in no time flat they've fitted him with a brand new "handsome" suit. Upon donning the threads, Takuro is instantly transformed into perfectly chiseled slice of beefcake (Tanihara). Adapting the more masculine name Annin Hikariyama ("Lightning Mountain") for his handsome new persona, the once unlucky-in-love cook becomes the toast of the Tokyo fashion scene, scoring a male modeling job and instantly appearing on the radar of popular high profile supermodel Raika (Mayumi Sada). Back in the kitchen, Takuro keeps his new life a secret while hitting it off with plump new employee Motoe (Miyuki Oshima). Meanwhile, out on the town, every time Takuro gets close to Raika the malfunctioning suit threatens to reveal the true man underneath, in all his bloated glory.Saturday, August 15, 2009

The fun begins as famous actress Ji-won (Ye Ji-won) is surprised at her home by a motley bunch of suitors comprised of an overly verbose professor, an insecure gangster, a smarmy Korean American, and the weird director of her latest film. It quickly emerges that she has been stringing them along, and understandably, they want answers, especially since they have all turned up with the intention of proposing marriage. Things go downhill after Ji-won inadvertently kills one of her potential husbands, and from then on the night becomes a disaster of murderous proportions as she and her manager try to keep the accidents under wraps, a task made all the more difficult by a couple of detectives on the trail of a thief dressed as Santa Claus and the gangsters’ concerned henchmen. Who will end up with Ji-won? And more importantly, who will survive the night?.Download :
