still waiting for a joke

Rating: 1/10 (6 November 2006)

What to say? A promising movie with an original idea. A huge promotion campaign, probably to hide the vacuity of the film! And just not a single joke!!! Basically Mr Black is a monk who dreams of becoming a famous wrestler, of course he sucks at fighting but still he ll manage to defeat the best in the world in the end! The idea of such a shallow script is to bring fun and jokes along the way, but it just doesn t. I guess the writers forgot it was a comedy. Too bad because the movie obviously benefited from a huge budget, the warm colors are quite good but it s probably the only thing to enjoy there. A good advice, sleep on it!
