Film Threat
Kung Fu Hustle is something you rarely encounter in theaters: a genuinely original comedy.

The Hollywood Reporter
With a delirious mix of the sublime and the silly, Hong Kong comedy king Stephen Chow Sing-chi has taken the kung fu comedy genre to new heights of chop-socky hilarity.

L.A. Weekly
The movie refers glancingly to dozens of Hollywood classics, from "West Side Story" to "City Lights," but at heart it is a debt of honor richly paid by Stephen Chow to his martial-arts forebears and to the traditions that shaped his sensibility. His gong fu is the best.

All of Kung Fu Hustle is like that: You don't just watch it, you ride with it, laughing all the way.

Half-amazing, half-ridiculous, thoroughly exhilarating.
