It’s 1999, and Ami just wants to blend in and be an American teenager. But two things shatter her universe: the arrival of a Japanese exchange student, Exotic Deadly (who doesn’t play by the rules) and the discovery that her grandfather invented MSG. These twin challenges send Ami careening through space and time, from post WWII Japan to the ocean bottom and leads to her ultimate destination: figuring out who she really is.
Directed by Mimi Katano. Featuring Karis Ho, Pearl Mei Lam, Kathy Hsieh, Josh Kenji, James Lee and Van Lang Pham (with understudies Julie Chen, Karissa Chin, Maia Low, Tim Takechi, Ken Kavin and Joshua Erme).
Exotic Deadly is rated PG-14 for wild teen girl crushes, occasional profanity, potential time travel whiplash and culinary overstimulation.
