it's eye candy, and that's okay

Rating: 10/10 (27 August 2008)

Basically, this is "The Karate Kid" with men who are in phenomenal shape and Mr Miyagi is played by Djimon Hounsou. The plot is simple of course but it's entertaining nonetheless. New kid in school lusts after hot chick. She invites him to a party where her boyfriend hosts parties where the major entertainment is people beating the crap out of each other. The protagonist gets his rear kicked by hottie girl's boyfriend. Protagonist is upset so he goes out and finds someone to train him. Wisdom is gained, another fight between protagonist and (now ex) boyfriend. Protagonist does well and is respected by all. The end
The major highlight of the movie and the reason I bought the film is shallow...the men are ripped, sweaty and yummy.
So, if you're looking for fluff with a few fun fights and men that are easy on the eyes...this film is for you...if you're in for a serious film about fighting, go elsewhere.
