Review: Kung Fu Hustle

Watched Kung Fu Hustle this weekend with the guys. I was expecting fun light fair, and I pretty much got what I was looking for.

If you've seen Shaolin Soccer, it's along similar lines as that: a little bit ubsurb, some great CGI action, and fun humor. There are other similarites, such as, a reluctant hero, a girl with some sort of "disability", and the fat guy. Unlike Shaolin Soccer, there are a lot of pop culture references. Some of these are only one line of dialogue. Others are entire scenes.

It's a silly, absurd film. If you're into chinese humor and a fan of Stephen Chow and Shaolin Soccer, you'll definately enjoy this.

4/5
