I am known for my eclectic taste and a good sense of humour but this movie left me totally cold. I watched it for an hour, thinking perhaps I will "get into it" but though I did not hate it, I just felt unable to suspend my disbelief. Perhaps one needs to see it in a cinema where everyone enjoys that sense of shared enjoyment, but funny is funny, whether you are alone or not - and this movie was not funny. It does have mildly entertaining characters (the landlady is one) but overall I hardly smiled let alone laughed. Kung fu has never appealed to me but my daughter raved about this movie so I gave it a go. What a complete disappointment that an obviously talented director wastes time with this piffle!! I see now where Tarantino gets his inspiration-I have to say I enjoyed Kill Bill more than I thought I would and certainly more than this. The special effects in Kung Fu Hustle were excellent and I cannot fault the production values but it was IMHO a waste of time and talent.I have not read every post on this site but I would love to know the average age(or I.Q.) of the people who love this movie!!!
