Kung Fu Hustle

May 14, 2005

I needed a little cheering recently, so Jon and I decided to go see a movie. I hadn’t laughed so much in weeks. Kung Fu Hustle is wonderful. It’s fun. It’s innovative. We liked it so much that we’re hoping to go see it again at the theatre. With our schedule, that says a lot.
The movie is subtitled in English, and most times I hate that, but not this time. The movie is good enough that almost from the first minute of film, I forgot about the subtitles and just enjoyed myself. It is not Trinity safe due to some violence. The violence is closer to cartoon violence, but it’s still pretty strong in places. You judge your kids, but it got an R rating for violence and some situations. Frankly, I’ve seen some PG 13s that bothered me a lot more. Ratings can be so subjective. But if your kids are old enough, or if you have a fun date, or just a bunch of good friends run do not walk to see this movie.
