The Handsome Suit
The Handsome Suit (ハンサム★スーツ, Hansamu Sūtsu) is a 2008 Japanese film directed by Tsutomu Hanabusa. The film showed at the 2009 11th Udine Far East Film International Premiere.[1][2]
Plot
An overweight restaurant owner Takuro (Muga Tsukaji) while popular with people for his delicious dinners, is unlucky in love because of his looks, dress sense and terrible habits. Takuro longs for his part-time waitress Hiroko who fell for him because of his warm-hearted nature, but rejects him because she believes he only cares about her looks.
A distraught Takuro is given the opportunity to try out a new invention, the Handsome Suit, which will make him good-looking, tall and deep-voiced. Noticing how differently he’s treated, Takuro has to learn to overcome how looks matter to both himself and to society in general, particularly when he meets the homely but sweet Motoe.
