The absurdity and action makes this enjoyable. It's ridiculous but it swings for the fences and even though it's not a home run, it's so much fun.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 2, 2023

It is creative and unique enough where I can say I've never seen anything like this before. Having said that, I'll never see this again because it's just too much chaos for me to enjoy.

... full of Chow’s trademark talents, from martial arts spoofing to verbal games, and it’s a lot of fun watching him goof through the creation of a team consisting of his Shaolin brothers into the Harlem Globetrotters of soccer...

It so deliriously riffs on everything from The Bad News Bears and Jurassic Park to super heroes and break dancing that it's hard not to get caught up in the goofy fun.

A movie as empty-headed as your average Premier League player, but that doesn't matter when the footie scenes are so fun and deliriously OTT.

...as logical and giddy as a second grade classroom.

A hard chestnut to swallow.

| Original Score: C+ | Jun 20, 2005

None of this is meant to be taken seriously or even thought about. So just turn off your brain and enjoy the silliness.
