My Review:
Excellent concept, I like most of his films because there are a bit of sadness and lots of comedy, I just cannot get tired from watching any of Stephen Chow's movies. Like Adam Sandler, Stephen Chow has the same crew of actors to work with on his movies. The story is about a monk who is from Shaolin Temple, he wants to make Shaolin Kung-fu exist in the mondern world, so he finds his monk brothers to help him out. Later, he finds soccer is a way to present the Shaolin Kung-fu's talent, so his team along with his monk brothers practice and get ready for a championship. There are many funny details along the way such as using Shaolin Kung-Fu to remake "California Dream" song. There is no way that you will not get a laugh out of this movie. There are many other Stephen Chow movies that I like, such as The Forlorn Scholar, King of Beggars, Back to School(Shang-Hi), etc.
