You can term it as a battle between the good and the evil. It's all about how Sing (Stephen Chow) convinces rest of his 5 disgraced brothers to use Shaolin Kung-Fu as a medium to play soccer and ultimately win the championship against the Evil team headed by the notorious Hung (Yin Tse) and in this venture he is helped by Golden Leg Fung (Man Tat Ng) who plays the role of the coach and Mui (Vicki Zhao) who loves and helps Sing during his difficult times.

The first half of the film seems a bit boring (Sing preaching his brothers to make Kung-Fu acceptable and interesting for others) though some scenes make you laugh but you really like the film due to it's much funny latter half(the match scenes to be specific). And adding to the humour is some good dose of emotional scenes though sometimes they feel like becoming overdose. Chow, Zhao and Tse are good. The main ingredient of the film is it's special effects and that aspect has been handled well. But you feel that all this could have been much better and done in a more professional way. The match scenes act as the main attraction for the film. They make you laugh and you can't help thinking about the amount of innovativeness that has been used to execute those scenes. Overall the film is good and funny. It's suggested that you watch the movie with blank minds, lay back and just relax.

I would give it a 7 off 10.

It's a simple storyline : Fletcher Reede (Jim Carrey) is a lawyer by profession and liar by nature. Problem arises when his wife, Audrey (Maura Tierney) threatens to desert him alongwith his son, Max (Justin Cooper) and live with her boyfriend of college days Jerry (Cary Elwes). The reason for this being Fletcher's repeatedly false commitments to Audrey and Max, who get emotionally hurt every now and then due to this. The story gets a beautiful turn when Max on his 5th birthday makes a wish that his daddy would'nt lie for one whole day and as expected this wish comes true and thus Jim Carrey gets an opportunity to show his acting skills and yet again he gives a flawless performance as a comic actor. The ending is expected with Fletcher getting united with his family and rediscovering himself as a good father and moreover a truthful person.

This is yet another visual treat for the countless Jim Carrey fans who have enjoyed him in films like ACE VENTURA: PET DETECTIVE, DUMB AND DUMBER, THE MASK ...No amount of praise is sufficient to acknowledge his comic skills. It comes so naturally to him. The whole movie seems like a roller coaster ride with Jim Carrey giving you reasons to laugh like hell at many moments and then changing into an emotional person occasionally (though that makes you laugh even more !!!). I would claim it to be a MUST WATCH MOVIE. You can blame me to be a hardcore Jim Carrey fan or being partial towards him but every Jim movie portrays in it the versatility the actor possesses which is so rare nowadays..... He gives everybody a reason to smile (rather i should say LAUGH!!! that too like MAD... )

I would rate it 9 on a scale of 10.

The movie is all about having a LAKSHYA (aim) in our lives. It would'nt be inappropriate at all to comment that this film in one way points out at today's indecisive youth who are not clear about what they are going to do of their lives, and change their focus every now and then.

The story is about Karan (Hrithik Roshan) who is very talented but utterly confused about his future. Rather his girlfriend Romila (Preity Zinta) has since the very beginning ambition of being a news channel correspondent. Karan's indecisiveness widens the gap between him and his father (Boman Irani) who expects nothing from his son and the same thing ultimately results in his breakup with Romila too. This changes Karan's life and he gets determined of getting in the army and passes out from the IMA (Indian Military Academy) with a very enviable record. At the same time Romila too becomes a successful news channel correspondent. But both of them don't know what their futures has in store for them. They meet again after the turmoil in Romila's life from a broken engagement and this time the backdrop is the picturesque Kashmir valley and the event being the Kargil war. Karan has been deputed there as an army officer and Preity comes for a live coverage of the war. The story now flows ahead with the attempt of Indian forces to get back peak no.5179 from the Pakistani forces and the intersection of Karan's and Romila's lives at many instances acting as the currents. The ending is predictable but yet you would love to watch it.

The movie is yet another masterpiece from Farhan Akhtar,the Director after the tremendous success of "Dil Chahta Hai". This is also yet another testimony of Javed Akhtar's writing prowess. The lyrics and dialogues are superb. Moreover the choreography (Prabhu Deva) and photography (Christopher Popp) are worthy of praises. Hrithik Roshan gives another flawless performance after "Koi Mil Gaya". Another attraction is Colonel Sunil Damle (Amitabh Bachchan). Amitabh Bachchan gives those dialogues a beauty and charm which is so characteristic to himself. Preity Zinta is good in her role too. You can't pinpoint anybody or anything specifically as that would diminish other's efforts as all of them have performed commendably. The backdrop of Kashmir valley and the Himalayas has been so beautifully captured in the frame. Also the war scenes look so much authentic which is very tough job to do. The running time of the film is above 3 hours but you can't realize that ( you can't help it as you get fully engrossed in the film.....). Hrithik's dancing skills are unveiled so beautifully yet again. He can easily claim to have a rubber body--so flexible,so much in tune with the rhythm. Good music from Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy trio once again. Actually i could'nt think of any flaw in the movie as every aspect has been given it's due attention.

I would claim it to be a must watch movie and rate it a hefty 8.5/10
