Ashida Mana and Charlotte Kate Fox go head to head in this charming tale of a family in recovery. Ashida plays Sakura whose mother died six months ago, and Fox plays Alice who has just had a whirlwind romance with Sakura's father, Sato, who has married her in Las Vegas and brought her to Japan without disclosing minor details like he has four children and his previous wife had just died. Nevertheless, Alice works to win over the family, and Sakura mounts the barricades against her. After an amazing and well-deserved climax in episode 7, the series takes a sharp left at episode 8 before ending pretty much where you'd expect. The director lets Ashida overact, but in key scenes she delivers like the true artist she's always been. Fox' performance is much better tempered as one would expect, but she does keep up with Ashida. All in all, Our House is a sweet exploration of how a family can reshape itself after a tragedy, and another step in Ashida's progress towards world domination.
