Oof that cgi is kinda bad. Couldn’t they just use a fat suit or have some plus sized celeb in a dual role?

The Japanese comments seem to show a majority actually like the make up and special effects. It may be that Japan prefers a more animated style mixed with live action while westerners prefer hyper realism.

I’m still wondering if this will be better or worse than the joke poster which imagined Adam Sandler as Sakamoto (and inadvertently proposed a spiritual successor to You Don’t Mess With the Zohan). It looks cartoony which is clearly the idea.
