“There’s a love-story shoe-horned into the plot. It doesn’t work for as many reasons as the movie itself doesn’t work. The girl is too good for Dre. He hasn’t done anything to earn her attention. And they’re both too young. There’s no sexual tension so who cares? There’s probably a good hour or so that could have been left on the cutting room floor. And I don’t mean scenes that just don’t work. I’m talking about pointless, repetitive dialogue and long, go-nowhere interactions that browbeat us with everything we already know. We get it: The kid doesn’t like China. We get it: The kid is cooler than everyone else in the entire country. We get it: The kid gets bullied. We get it: He doesn’t like it.”
Karate? 12 years old kids? Come again? Maybe in some other movie this could turn out good, but not in this one. After seeing Ip man, kung fu scenes in this movie are just plain ridiculous – bunch of 12 year-olds fight with wires and CGI – maybe this intended to explain why the Chinese can fly and fight when they get older? :P
Story
The movie is longer than two hours, yet if fails to answer lots of questions, many things are just thrown in and then they disappear. There are also some cliches about cultural hate misunderstandings but those turned out to be good as they were funny.
Characters
Dre - the main kiddo, liked his acting of a typical kid. His action scenes were good too.

That girl whose name i forgot -her sole purpose is to have a girl in the movie. Also to make movie much longer. Did she even passed the audition?(dull) She plays the violin, speaks two languages and yet her acting was too much annoying as was her role – like she was catching a glimpse at the camera from time to time

Jackie has mystical healing powers in this move
Han - Jackie did a fine job here, although i prefer him to do all the action

COOCKOO
Dre’s mom - Dre has to have a mom, possibly the one that annoys him and the rest of the audience
What were characters resolves in this movie is to be an eternal mystery.

This is probably the funniest scene in the movie
