This "film" is a direct rip off of Danny Kaye's The Kid From Brooklyn, which is an absolutely wonderful movie. The Calcium Kid doesn't even give credit to the original film, it just butchers it with plot holes and cheap pretentious laughs. I adore Orlando Bloom just like any other girl, but this is not one of his best or funnier movies. He is great, but this film falls completely flat. Trying to redo a Danny Kaye picture was a terrible idea as he is the master of comedy IMHO. This movie has some great actors, but as I said before, they completely and utterly butchered the original and without giving any credit to the original. Don't waste your time on this and watch the original with Danny Kaye.
