LAND OF NEW MOVIES

War comes to a small town in the most juvenile and hilarious of manners in Bokutachi to Chuzai-san no 700 Nichi Sensou (a.k.a. 700 Days of Battle: US vs. The Police). Based on a blog novel that was adapted to manga and now to film, this over-the-top comedy from director Tsukamoto Renpei (One Missed Call 2) is about a group of youth who wage a prank war against a local police officer. A quaint 1979 countryside town provides the setting for this fabulously fun story as go-to young actor Ichihara Hayato (Rainbow Song, All About Lily Chou Chou) and Sasaki Kuranosuke from Mamiya Kyodai square off in increasingly ridiculous and elaborate pranks.

Troublemaking teen Mamachari (Ichihara Hayato) and his group of friends are experts at causing havoc in their quiet town. One day, the resident police officer, or Chuzai-san (Sasaki Kuranosuke), busts Mamachari's buddy Saijo (Ishida Takuya) for speeding on his scooter. The teens decide to retaliate with a small prank, and Chuzai-san gets them suspended from school. The youth only feel more outraged when they discover that Chuzai-san is somehow married to the beautiful young Kanako (Aso Kumiko, Casshern). Mamachari and company vow to humiliate Chuzai-san with every trick up their sleeves, but this police officer is every bit as immature and inventive as they are when it comes to pranking. Soon the whole town's pulled into the escalating war. ~from yesasia~
