With tons of action, eye-popping special effects, and nonstop laughs, here's a hilarious martial arts comedy about a team of misfits who take their best shot at winning a championship! Sing is a skilled Shaolin kung fu devotee whose amazing "leg of steel" catches the eye of a soccer coach! Together they assemble a squad of Sing's former Shaolin brothers inspired by the big-money prize in a national soccer competition! Using an unlikely mix of martial arts and newfound soccer skills, it seems an unbeatable combination ... until they must face the dreaded Team Evil in the ultimate battle for the title!

I’m a little indifferent about this film, on one hand it’s really well written, directed and acted but on the other it’s just so far out there that it is a little hard to enjoy.

Great soccer action, no fights, an oddball cast, near perfect CGI effects and a love story… Usually I’d be happy with that but for some reason I’m not, I just don’t feel anything for this movie.

Stephen Chow is a good film-maker and has truly unique ideas but I just cannot say that this is an overall great film.

The DVD has two versions of the film on it. The original Cantonese version which runs about 1 hour and 52 minutes and the American theatrical release which somehow is only 1 hour and 27 minutes.

I thought because Kung Fu Hustle was so good and this has received great reviews that it’d be something special. I liked it and all like I said but something here doesn’t click with me and work.

Watch this and make up your own minds because it’s an experience, that’s the best I can put it.
