Panda Spoof!

Another Dreamworks effort but the magic is getting veneer-thin. Still some fun but very muted.

Po (Jack Black), a clumsy son of a noodle shop owner was accidentally chosen to be the Dragon Warrior above the 4 super warriors, Tigress (Jolene), Monkey(Jackie Chan), Grasshopper and Snake (Lucy Liu). Then a looming threat came when an earlier recalcitrant student imprisoned to keep peace in the village broke loose to fight the Dragon Warrior.

So, Po gets trained by Sifu (Dustin Hoffman) and his kungfu is all around food including usage of dumplings, woks, chopsticks and bowls.

As expected Po saved the day.

See it if you have kids around.
