“It all started when I Googled my name” said Killeen of his movie. And who in today’s day and age hasn’t engaged in just such an activity in a moment of idle “webbing.” The difference here that the filmmaker actually followed up on his findings by not only contacting his namesakes but also traveling to whatever remote location called for to meet and interview the subjects of his search, even discovering (and verifying through genetic testing) a long-lost cousin. Jim Killeen the filmmaker in Los Angeles found, among others, Jim Killeen the priest in Cobh, Ireland, Jim Killeen the retired cop in New York, Jim Killeen the CEO in Melbourne, Australia and Jim Killeen the sexual swinger in Denver. “Google Me” has not only been given the search engine’s blessing, but even features Google’s VP of Engineering, Douglas Merrill, in an insightful interview voicing his sentiments on the subject. Whether an effort to defeat the innumerable self-imposed social barriers erected since the advent of the Internet or out of sheer and simple curiosity, the result is nevertheless telling and enormously entertaining – as well as a provoking commentary on today’s society and how technology has transformed our lives. Due to the premise of the film, Jim Killeen is likely to become a household name. By employing the single yet powerfully intimate common denominator of a person’s name, “Google Me” succeeds in exploring the philosophical subject of identity itself as well as the underlying human conditions that unite us all.

本剧将以娱乐的形式描写充满梦想与希望的政治。木村饰演一名被孩子们围绕，每天过着充实生活的小学老师，却因为某些因素开始奋斗朝向政治圈，成为总理大臣的人性温情剧。 　　虽然被老奸巨猾的政治家们操弄着，却有着想让日本变得更好的想法，因此而与一些隐秘的人们一起奋斗。不忘记身为平民的感觉，以市井小民的观点，虽不懂太多政治方面的事，却不畏怯的素人总理之姿影响周围的人。 　　另外，担任此剧秘书角色的为深津绘里，距上回与木村共演的《从天而降的一亿颗星星》有六年之久，此一秘书角色为名门大学出身，本拥有一颗想要动摇日本野心的女性，但却渐渐被木村总理的理念给吸引。而二人之间的恋爱去向也是一大焦点。 　　本剧的制作人为后藤博幸，脚本为写过《HERO》日剧版与电影版的福田靖，导演则是执导《HERO》SP版、《西游记》日剧版与电影版的泽田鎌作所担任，可说是实力坚强的班底。
