I really enjoyed this movie. I don't think that there's anything wrong with letting Jackie slow down the pace of the action a little bit and focus more on acting. Jackie is a good actor, especially when it comes to comedy, but that is frequently overshadowed by the action in his movies. Without his acting ability his early movies would have been indistinguishable from any of a hundred other kung fu movies from the same era and he probably would have retired long ago.
No, this movie isn't exactly the same as his others. Jackie's stunts are now assisted by technology a little bit, but it really is just a little bit. It's not like Matrix Reloaded or Blade II where once the action gets a little hectic the actors are just replaced by CG models.
Let Jackie act a little bit. There has always been more to him than his ability to jump off buildings.
I thought that Jennifer Love Hewitt was a lot of fun to watch, too. I haven't seen much of her work, but I think that her comedic instincts look pretty strong.
