This movie is a tale about an inventor who makes a bet that he can go around the world in eighty days. His French valet has just quit. A man nick-named Passport 2 (Jackie Chan) is a Chinese man who fakes being French to get away with stealing a jade Buddha that he stole from a bank. When Passport 2 finds out that the inventor is going around the world he uses him to take him back to China. Passport 2 becomes good friends with the inventor and finds it hard to tell him the truth. Meanwhile, the inventor falls in love with a French woman who comes along on their journey. I am 11 and the movie was a snore-fest to me but for kids younger than that the movie would be good. There were some sexual situations but other than that it was ok.
I act like a little kid I know, but this movie is just irresistable. The plot is charming with surprising little quirks in the story like the Wright Bros. Jackie Chan was his usual self and the inventor and french lady were well carved characters that sometimes brought you to frustration but other times complete awe of their insight on life. There is fighting scenes but they are often funny and involve their own little quirks too, like a picture being accidentaly painted. I loved it and I have watched it too many times to count.
I took my 8 & 10 yr old kids and being a Disney movie, was a little surprised by some of the cursing in the movie, there were several "D*mn" and "H*ll" that was totally unnecessary for the movie. Had I known that there would be as much cursing as there was, I woulld have passed on the movie. Could/should have been better.
A friend made me watch this with them and the whole time I was wishing I was somewhere else! It was soooooooooo boring! I don't know how any one can like it!

if your son or daughter was under 10 or 11 ask your kid to watch it with you if he or she wanted to.
