At first it looks dumb, but gets REALLY GOOD!

One night I started to watch this movie but thought it was stupid. The next night I had nothing else to watch, so I decided to give it another shot and after viewing more found it to be GREAT!

I do not care for comedies very much (few make me laugh), but, even though this one did not make me "bust a gut", I found it to be quite amusing. I just had to get past the first somewhat boring 25 minutes of it and then it comes alive!

I thought 3 ninjas was funny, but now I understand that it was a take off of this Chinese movie (dubbed in English) and I must say this movie is much better! It is original and full of action and fake/funny violence.

Three boys who have always lived in the country run away and find themselves in the big city for the first time. They have many misconceptions, for example: They think that a stoplight is a dragon and bathroom stalls (in a womens bathroom) are holding innocent prisoners. Also the people in the city misinterpret the boys actions/intentions as well.

Quotes
Ah Kuo: [after Grandma has tucked him and his brothers in for the night] Grandma?
Grandma: [turns around with a smile] Yes?
Ah Kuo: Wait a minute, can we ask you something?
Fatty: Do you miss Grandpa?
Grandma: [thinks for a moment, then has a small frown on her face] No, I don't miss him.
Fatty: [dismayed] But Grandpa misses you alot.
Hsiao: Yeah. He drinks every night and looks at your photo. He always looks sad and lonely. Poor Grandpa... he really misses you.
[the boys nod their heads in a agreement]
Grandma: [she's moved by this, but still shows no regret] Oh foo! It serves him right, he's stubborn and bad tempered. If he were a bit more tolerant we wouldn't be separated now.
Fatty: Perhaps we can get Grandpa to stay here with us.
Grandma: [shakes head with dismay] He's too set in his ways, nothing will make him budge. If he were just a bit more considerate, I wouldn't have left with your sister Ching-Ching.
