I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

The Karate Kid (1989) was a cheesy saturday morning cartoon thatdebuted on N.B.C. The cartoon was real hokey and I didn't stick with it (the phony voices had something to do with it). The plots made part threelook innovative. Man, I thought I was dreaming that this show ever existeduntil I saw it on this site. I knew I wasn't hallucinating! Like most 80'snostalgia nothing was worth remembering and this series is one of them.Bad cartoon spun off of a dead in the water franchise. Nothing torecommend (unless you're a masochist).
