Kung Pow: Enter the Fist is my favorite comedy of all time. It's the stupidest movie ever, in the best way possible. I'm in tears every time I watch it. So a friend of mine who also loves it, recommended I give Kung Fu Hustle a try.

I have no idea why Kung Pow is stupidly hilarious while Kung Fu Hustle is just plain stupid. What causes the difference? How do you cross the line to the other side? I'm assuming a big part of it is subjective. But I'll never understand the objective part.

In Kung Fu Hustle, I laughed a couple times, but most of the comedic attempts were a complete failure for me. I quit the movie after 36 minutes, right after the chase scene where their feet were spinning fast like Sonic the Hedgehog. I couldn't do it any more.
