This is a 'side quest' movie. It doesn't impact the main Naruto storyline, but it's a fun enough diversion if you're already a fan of the Leaf Village crew. It’s basically a tropical vacation episode with a few high-octane fights thrown in.
Don't expect groundbreaking animation or a complex plot. It’s a 2006 time capsule that delivers on the basic Naruto promise: big speeches about friendship and cool special moves. It's a safe bet for a rainy Saturday if they've already burned through the main series.
