Now, I love stupid humor movies. Some of my favorites: Orgazmo, the South Park movie, the Beavis and Butthead movie, Shaolin Soccer, Dumb and Dumber, Old School. Anything by Kevin Smith, or Sam Raimi. I also love action and martial arts films -- the cheesier the better.
So you'd think that 'Kung Pow' would be right up my alley... but no. This one was a waste of time. The first few minutes are kind of amusing, but after that the gags are unoriginal and overdone. This is not a witty parody, and it's not even mildly entertaining. I'm not quite sure what the filmmaker was going for here, but the mark was missed by a mile.
It's just not worth it -- it's just not funny. Very, very disappointed.
