Trust Jay Chou, but don't trust Kevin Chu.

Jay Chou's performance was much better than I expected. The comedic timing was spot on. I just wish there were more scenes with nunchucks!

I wasn't originally planning on rating this, but after seeing so many one-star reviews from so-called movie fans, I felt it was just too much. I immediately gave it five stars. Does having Jay Chou in it automatically make it bad? "Secret" wasn't terrible, was it? At the very least, this film gives the Chinese some representation.
