Fans of certified cad, thief, and teal suit-jacket wearer Lupin III might’ve been surprised by this theatrical rendition of their beloved boob-enjoyer. Here, tamed by the pen of master animator Hayao Miyazaki in his first feature-length directing effort, the man is less interested in burying his face into fellow criminal Fujiko Mine’s chest and more invested in playing hero to a reluctant bride-to-be – although her evil husband’s hoarded treasure probably sweetens the deal. Of course, this still maintains the fun hijinks innate to a Lupin III piece: car chases, sword wielding, and shoot-outs in the pseudo-Italian countryside. In this humble writer’s opinion? This film rules. We Luv Video guesses the American rating as PG, so bring the youth along to see animated action-comedy done right. – James Scott
