7/10
It's good but could have been much better...
25 June 2004
You can term it as a battle between the good and the evil. It's all about how Sing (Stephen Chow) convinces rest of his 5 disgraced brothers to use Shaolin Kung-Fu as a medium to play soccer and ultimately win the championship against the Evil team headed by the notorious Hung (Yin Tse) and in this venture he is helped by Golden Leg Fung (Man Tat Ng) who plays the role of the coach and Mui (Vicki Zhao) who loves and helps Sing during his difficult times.

The first half of the film seems a bit boring (Sing preaching his brothers to make Kung-Fu acceptable and interesting for others) though some scenes make you laugh but you really like the film due to it's much funny latter half(the match scenes to be specific). And adding to the humour is some good dose of emotional scenes though sometimes they feel like becoming overdose. Chow, Zhao and Tse are good. The main ingredient of the film is it's special effects and that aspect has been handled well. But you feel that all this could have been much better and done in a more professional way. The match scenes act as the main attraction for the film. They make you laugh and you can't help thinking about the amount of innovativeness that has been used to execute those scenes. Overall the film is good and funny. It's suggested that you watch the movie with blank minds, lay back and just relax.

I would give it a 7 off 10.
