" Sato-Ke no Choushoku, Suzuki-Ke no Yuushoku " explored some interesting themes about family and family ties.

The movie - special, was bold enough to dare to present two untraditional families and how their dynamics were shaken when the kids started questioning the how and whys of their way of living. What I also enjoyed was the performances that were pretty great from every actor and actress in the cast.

However, I didn't like how they handled some of the scenes that were sloppy and awkward. Plus, they didn't explain some problems that eventually occured. But, overall, the story gave us a closure in the end.

So, overall, seven out of ten.
