This heartwarming movie is truly magical, because it stays with you long after watching it.
This is NOT an action movie, but Jackie Chan does justice to his role, and it is a must-see for his true fans. It would be a shame to overlook this modern classic just because it isn't his usual style or genre. Just start watching it without any prior expectations, and you will be rewarded.
If you like this movie, you can enjoy its Japanese version too (made just a few months earlier), but I think Jackie Chan did a much better job at portraying Mr. Namiya.
