Here is a summary and then below that is the movie trailer if you would like to see that too:
12-year-old Dre Parker (Jaden Smith) could've been the most popular kid in Detroit, but his mother's (Taraji P. Henson) latest career move has landed him in China. Dre immediately falls for his classmate Mei Ying - and the feeling is mutual - but cultural differences make such a friendship impossible. Even worse, Dre's feelings make an enemy of the class bully, Cheng. In the land of kung fu, Dre knows only a little karate, and Cheng puts "the karate kid" on the floor with ease. With no friends in a strange land, Dre has nowhere to turn but maintenance man Mr. Han (Jackie Chan), who is secretly a master of kung fu. As Han teaches Dre that kung fu is not about punches and parries, but maturity and calm, Dre realizes that facing down the bullies will be the fight of his life.

The trailer looks awesome! However, I wish they hadn't named it The Karate Kid. While the premise is the same, the title just doesn't seem to fit compared to the original movie.
ReplyDeleteThis would be an AWESOME gift for my husband! He loved the original movie and I've heard only good things about this one :)
ReplyDeleteI think this movie would make the perfect family movie. My husband took our girls to see the movie and they loved it! I would love to be able to watch it with them.

We'd love to win because our 6 year old is a huge fan of the movie! He took a friend to see it this summer and has been anxiously awaiting the time it would come out on DVD! He even wants to learn karate because of it. (Now I just need to find a class nearby).

My 8 year old son loves the old Karate kid movies. He's been taking karate classes for about 6 months and loves them. We haven't seen the new Karate Kid movie yet, and really want to.
