Karate Kid




Over the weekend I took my sons to see the new Karate Kid movie, and first of all let me just say this, by not having Elizabeth Shue at least make a cameo in it was a farce.

Let me give you a little of the plot....really cute black is forced to move to China, by mom who works for some Chinese company that gives them an apt...so on so forth.  First day in the land of forced child labor, cute black kid gets his ass beat, by a  kid who only speaks in broken English...but even so, I'm pretty sure he could kick Mr. Miagi's ass too.

To the rescue Jackie Chan (I thought he was Japanese????)....He trains cute black kid for some tournament where cute black kid beats the living daylights out of all comers (I'm going to vote for cute black kid for President).

(HINT):  During the tournament part of the movie...see how many lines were taken directly from the original.

The beginning was good...and ending was good, but way to much in the middle.  If you take kids, they will be bored.  My 10 year started playing peek-a-boo with himself during this part of the film.
