What You Need To Know:
WHITE ON RICE is humorously quirky, winsome and sweet. Its low budget shows, however. Also, there are a few obscenities, brief sexual innuendo, and some violence. The violence includes one slightly bloody scene where a character accidentally stabs himself in the stomach. The worldview is lightly Romantic, so caution is advised.

More Detail:
WHITE ON RICE is a goofy but endearing low-budget comedy about a misfit guy with family troubles, job troubles and girl troubles.
The movie stars Hiroshi Watanabe as Jimmy, a bumbling 40-year-old divorcee from Japan trying to navigate his way through a new life in America while living out of his married sister Aiko’s basement. His disgruntled brother-in-law Tak hates him. He’s got a low-paying part-time job in a dull office. And, he’s searching for a new wife who shares his love for dinosaurs and geology.
Jimmy’s life goes horribly wrong when he falls desperately in love with his brother-in-law’s beautiful niece Ramona. Jimmy vows to steal her away from her ex-boyfriend, Tim, who happens to be Jimmy’s handsome co-worker. Meanwhile, Jimmy’s young nephew, Bob, harbors a secret talent and a secret life that could hold the key to rekindling the passion in his parents’ marriage.
