Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Irishchatter I would absolutely love to have a dog like Junkers because seriously, when I feel lonely or if I'm having a bad day, he would always be there for me. Plus a bonus of three wishes wouldn't be a bad idea too y'know!I liked how this film didn't make Hiromi into a whiny snobby 12 year old. They honestly did make her mature for her age and thats even better then the well-known anime film "My Neighbor Totoro" because seriously, it wasn't as mature as this film truly is! There was a scene that I nearly cried at. The scene consists of Hiromi telling her parents to stop getting a divorce in the place where the last spent time together as a family. It does break your heart actually, for real, a separation in any family is difficult especially if your parents were together for years! Well at least in the end, Hiromi's parents rekindled thanks to Junkers' magic!I really liked the film, it was different and plus, it was easy to follow! I think it should've won awards like some of Studio Ghilbi's films had done!

Kong Ho Meng This is quite a nice anime movie. On the surface, the anime tried to sell its story with the attraction of a unique talking dog. However in its core essence, it was a movie about family problems and a little girl who just wanted the best for her family. There were some comical moments and the sad moments were not overly sentimental. However, what prevented me from rating this movie a 7 star or above, was due to the fact that the final moment was a bit of a letdown in my opinion. It was like the creators were rushing for deadlines and came up with a convenient solution to the ending. If this movie was remade with a better ending, magical or not, it could have the potential to be on par with the best anime movies of all time.

Dave Kaminskas Hiromi is a young 6th grade girl who has parents who are devoted to their work and plan on getting a divorce. She doesn't know how to cope with the fact that she might be losing her parents and she seeks help from her dog Junkers. A well made anime dealing with real life issues that many kids must face, may be a bit to serious for some kids, but the talking dog should keep their attention. The acting in the English dubbed version was surprisingly good. Hiromi and Junkers are two very cute innocent characters that are fun to watch. It is a film that the whole family will enjoy, so feel free to pull up a chair and watch with your kids. You won't be disappointed. ** out of ****

dballred After having turned into a Ghibli addict a few years ago, I have been a difficult person to impress. I am greatly impressed. Junkers Come Here is a jewel of a story that took me for the emotional ride of the year.The central character in the story is eleven-year-old Hiromi Nozawa. Her parents are successful professionals who love their daughter, but have little time for her--or for each other. They had been drifting apart over the previous few years and were on the verge of divorce. She has a pet Schnauser, Junkers (pronounced Yoonkers), who has the ability to speak and, as we learn, the ability to grant three wishes.Rounding out the central list of characters is the family's maid, Fumie, and a level-headed college student, Keisuke, who tutors Hiromi in return for room and board.Hiromi desperately wants to maintain a normal family, but had long since given up the idea that she and her parents would do something together. When her mother casually hints that she and her husband might get a divorce, she is devastated. She doesn't want to show it, though, as she didn't want to be the source of unhappiness.Junkers, who speaks only with Hiromi, offers to grant three wishes. Are Junkers gifts all part of Hiromi's imagination? Are they real? Get the DVD and find out. I give this a ten out of ten rating.
