At the other, a number of disgruntled long-time union members struggle with the new exigencies of Japanese quality control.

Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Its tone swings violently from pratfall to preachment, from an indictment of featherbed laziness to an extended beer-commercial celebration of the mythical American worker.
– Richard Corliss,
TIME Magazine,
28 Jun 2011
fresh:
Drawn from real life, the conflict between cultures is good for both a laugh and a sober thought along the way.
– Variety Staff,

rotten:
The hero, though funny, is ultimately unsympathetic, securing through his cosy pacts nobody's position but his own, while the upbeat ending justifies strike-breaking. With comrades like this, who needs class enemies?
– Derek Adams,
Time Out,
24 Jun 2006
rotten:
It's more cheerful than funny, and so insistently ungrudging about Americans and Japanese alike that its satire cuts like a wet sponge.
– Vincent Canby,
New York Times,
20 May 2003
rotten:
A disappointment, a movie in which the Japanese are mostly used for the mechanical requirements of the plot, and the Americans are constructed from durable but boring stereotypes.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
