My wife loves the franchise... I'm 3 deep and really not seeing the appeal. But, I do like the accent, it's a rarity that you see a film with a southern accent on the lead, and that is refreshing. Especially out in Japan, or anywhere that has an American abroad. The High school thing wasn't so much my speed. Neither was the reason why he ended up in Japan, where the problems he would have with driving and racing were resolved with... a phone call. And then I spent the majority of the time watching this and wondering how much money people in Japan spend on front end alignments and that was about as challenging as the movie got for me. Otherwise it was pretty paint by numbers from start to finish. But hey, the colors popped.
