Jay Chou: From Harold to Kato

Jay Chou is one of the funniest Asian actors in Hollywood.  He was hilarious in the various comedies he had starred in - especially the Harold and Kumar series.

When they cast him in the role of Kato, I was in doubt - I had never seen him do any martial arts before this movie!  Yet he stepped into Bruce Lee's shoes and made the role his own.  He injected a heavy dose of comedy into the role, making Seth Rogan's character seem even more clueless and idiotic.  As for the martial arts - it was shot artistically enough - with the whole slow motion plus computer animation effects to be believable.

The movie is a funny twist to a great classic and definitely entertaining!  It was only available in 3D on opening night - a bit pricey, but if you're in the mood for laughs this is absolutely a must-see.

Happy watching, my friends!
