Brendan Fraser plays a struggling actor who takes a job pretending to be a member of various people's families. Melodrama ensues. The whole thing takes place in Japan. I'm not really sure why the character Fraser plays is in Japan, he might have come for a job and never left. But he's there. There's two main threads. In one, he's a reporter talking to an aging actor suffering from early stages of dementia who wants to feel important again. In the other, he plays the absent father returned in order to help a young girl get into a prestigious school. In the end, of course, Brendan learns a valuable life lesson.
I was hoping for a more comedic take but that is not what comes up.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
