Not horrible, not great - kinda in the middle. A few funny scenes and some cool fight scenes - typical Jackie Chan fare. Better than some, worse than others. Chris Tucker was a lot less enjoyable this time around though. He was annoying before, but in a slightly endearing way - now he's just annoying.
I liked Jackie Chan's earlier movies better, actually. But the out-takes are always very amusing, so be sure and stick around for those at the end when they're rolling the credits.
It's amazing that this guy can still pull off these amazing acts defying gravity at his age. I applaud his athleticism and amazing physical abilities!

I had no real expectation about this film going in, but I was SO PLEASANTLY SURPRISED by what I found. It was charming, amusing, inventive, and told a wonderful story. I fell under its spell, so to speak.
The film had a slight "The Princess Bride" vibe (though nothing, in my view, will EVER hold a candle to that masterpiece), but this was just an enjoyable ride the whole way through.
I could have done without Michelle Pfeiffer's over-acting and pathetic attempt to play a "witch" - but aside from that, the acting was great and the characters were enjoyable. Robert DeNiro's character was pretty amusing, in particular. Loved the ending too. A great choice for any age or gender - it's got something for everyone.

Not the greatest comedy of the summer, but it had its fair share of laughs. Some of the situations were pretty amusing and some of the lines were laugh-out-loud funny.
Christopher Walken seems to always make the best out of his roles, whatever he's given, he makes it his own. And this is no exception. The script wasn't rolling on the floor funny, but it had its moments. This would qualify as a good choice for a matinée-priced movie, I'd say.
As an aside, I don't know WHY ON EARTH that African American lady who played Christopher Walken's female henchman keeps getting roles (she played Jennifer Love Hewitt's antique shop partner for a while and stunk in that role too).
