My Neighbor the Yamadas diangkat dari komik yang telah lama berjalan dengan nama yang sama dan dibuat oleh komikus Jepang ternama, Ishii Hisaichi. Film ini diceritakan dalam bentuk sketsa berseri yang berfokus kepada seorang pengusaha Jepang paruh-baya bernama Takashi Yamada dan keluarganya. Cerita dalam film ini menawarkan observasi yang dekat, seringkali menyentuh dan humoris, terhadap sebuah keluarga tradisional Jepang yang semakin hari semakin menghilang dari budaya Jepang yang semakin kebarat-baratan
My Neighbors the Yamadas is based on the long-running comic strip of the same name by Japan's best-known comic strip writer and artist Ishii Hisaichi. It is told in a series of episodic vignettes that center around a middle-aged Japanese businessman, Takashi Yamada, and his family members. It offers a close look, often touching, and often humorous, at the kind of traditional family that may be disappearing in an increasingly modern, increasingly Westernized Japan. It is above all else the story of a family. Its location is Japan. Its values are very, very Japanese. Or are they?.
