Movie Review

Grade: B Little can be said about Shaolin Soccer - you're either going to like it or avoid it at all costs. It is a kung fu movie and soccer movie rolled into one, and while everything is live action, it plays out like one gigantic cartoon. Goofiness is key, and those not interested in goofy should steer clear. Read the full movie review

When I first heard about this movie, I didn't expect it to be that good, but a mix of martial arts, soccer, and a lot of random and mindless, but funny scenes, made it pretty good.
