Serious is easy, funny is hard -- this is a bit of wisdom that everyone who makes screen comedies believes, but that programmers of the higher-minded film festivals and those who bestow the more prestigious awards seldom acknowledge. Those zany foreigners who present the Golden Globes may have their quirky Best Comedy prize, but the Hollywood powers that be rarely deign to honor a mere comedy with a Best Picture Oscar.
Satoshi Tsumabuki, Takatoshi Kaneko, Hiroshi Tamaki, Koen Kondo and Akifumi Miura in "Waterboys"
