Lot's of holes

Rating: 5/10 (19 April 2013)

Many users said it best when they said it is a rip off of the Karate Kid. I will admit the movie has some entertainment value and I will probably watch it again at some point. Here are my problems with it: 1- So you are telling me that a mom that is struggling financially is going to move from Iowa to Orlando where the cost of living is higher because her 10 year old son plays tennis? This was one of my biggest problems with the movie. The writer should have come up with a much better reason for the move.
2- The kid sucked at tennis. The scene it shows him playing in, he has no skill at all.
3- Max is laughing and having a good time while getting his face beat in and bloodied.
4- Max does not even know Jake, yet googles his name and finds the fight he got in in Iowa. The whole school stares at Jake as he walks the halls. That shiz just doesn't happen. Sorry.
Weak plot, weak character development, bad acting by "Ryan" and every cliché in a movie you could ask for.
