Strange!
Subtitles in the version we rented. Bizarre. Slapstick. Was looking for more realistic martial arts. My son didn't want to watch it at first but got sucked in and loved it, got his little sister to watch it, and now trying to get his friends to watch it. You almost have to see this movie to believe how bad/good it is. Lots of inappropriate behavior.

Sometimes you can't be sure if it's supposed to be funny or serious
For example, some of the soccer "action" sequences can be so over the top that you might be laughing but you're still not sure if its supposed to be taken seriously. However, this movie is definitely aimed at the younger crowd, but I still found it quite amusing due to its randomized humor. If you are older and this type of off the wall humor, I highly reccommend watcdhing "Airplane", the greatest spoof movie helped rejuvinate the genre. That, or the other Zucker movies such as "The Naked Gun" series.
