If Miramax had released it parrellel to the World Cup as was originally intended it prob would have done a lot better... but I guess two years later in very limited release was the better way to go...
I watched this movie. I think it's great. It is a comedy in the sense that it has a good ending, but it is not senselessly funny like Stephen Chow's older movies. The humor in there can be understood universally I believe. Definitely worth watching. In fact, I think this is Chow's best work by far.
Style of comedy reminds me of "El Mariachi." The first one... the guy with the slaps, the lady taking off, the slapstick comedy... I will see it.
I liked Shaolin soccer even though none of my non-Asian friends enjoyed it. I'll have to see this one.
