Present movies are more about life's lessons and the horrible consequences of war (a reflection of the times we live in), very few of them are actually meant to entertain us and even the few comedies out there have leaned more and more into scatological humor and innuendo, leaving the young audiences with scarce options. Stephen Chow has the right idea when it comes to movies.

Kung Fu Hustle is pure entertainment! The fights are very well choreographed, the humor is light and very physical (everyone will get the jokes), the drama is also light but very well accomplished (you can cry if you want) and to top it all, the special effects are great!

It is advisable that you avoid watching it with very young kids, but anyone 13 and above will enjoy it a lot. Watching this movie is bliss. The amalgamation of genres works very well and the pacing is near-perfect with ups and downs at all the right moments. If you want to spend a great weekend night, gather some friends, get some take-out food and watch this movie!
