Mighty monk moves in Shaolin Soccer
24/12/2004 - 12:02:43Shaolin Soccer
Director: Stephen Chow
Cast: Stephen Chow, Vicki Zhao, Ng Man Tat, Yut Fei Wong
Cert: 12.
The beautiful game has been translated into a feel-good joy in Chow's charmingly dotty film in which a group of monks form a team and set out to gain revenge against their old foes: Team Evil.
Sing (Chow) combines conventional soccer methods with those from the martial arts as the big game approaches.
It's a funny, heart-warming and odd little film, which really involves the audience with its downright silliness.
Move over Mr Beckham, the monks are coming!
Star Rating: 4/5
