The Age of Commercialism

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

The problem with this film is that Chan's main line is adventures, not simple family comedies. It's not his style.

My daughter was watching the movie and I noticed a scene where Jackie Chan was trying to dress the little girl on the floor as she struggled with him.At one point (while she was in her underwear) she is laying directly in front of him on her back and begins kicking him. While doing so, her legs are open and showing a bit more than I felt comfortable with. In a few seconds the camera zooms in and clearly shows between her legs much closer, showing the looseness of the underwear and it was extremely unnecessary.For this reason, I won't give this movie a 10. With the people who had to sign off on the movie before it went to theaters, etc... this should have been spotted and revised.

Are people sniffing glue these days? Terrible, terrible excuse for a movie. Its not OK to excuse this as good old fashioned family entertainment. If you do, you are committing child abuse and I want to report you to the authorities. The characters are all completely unlikable, one-dimensional and above all, one hundred percent idiotic. Not one line of dialogue feels right, not one single scene worked at all. The mother is a complete imbecile and the children all deserve a punch in the face. Poor Jackie Chan needed some money, that is the only reason he was in this - and not to entertain your little dimbulb rugrats who couldn't tell the difference between a good movie and static in the first place. There are hundreds of great family films out there to expose your kids to. This is not one of them. Demand more out of your entertainment and maybe your kids won't grow up to be so stupid. If that makes you mad or offends you, then you're probably to blame.

This movie got negative reviews because critics didn't take into account that it's a kids movie. There is a script...it's barely there, but what's important is that it is there.Basically it's about a Chinese spy named Bob Ho who is on loan to the CIA. He's planning to retire so he can marry his next door neighbor, Gillian, a single mother with three kids who hate Bob. When Gillian has to leave town, Bob is in charge of looking after the kids while fighting off his nemesis, a Russian named Poldark.Jackie Chan is just Jackie Chan. Comic while still providing decent fight scenes. Nothing special. Not surprisingly, Madeline Carroll did a good job as Farren, Gillian's rebellious 13-year-old stepdaughter. She did great, considering what she was given. The character of the son was extremely annoying. Just everything about him got on my nerves. And the four-year-old was adorable enough.The fight scenes are all slapstick. They're a bit over-the-top and I question the plausibility of some of them, but keep in mind that they're designed to entertain kids. And they were a bit funny.Overall, this is just your standard kids movie. Moms and dads will undoubtedly fall asleep, but little kids are going to have a blast.
