I Hated This The First Time I Watched It.

Warning: Spoilers
It is so obvious. But, the second time, I listened to the voices. Master Tang and Master Pain(Evil Betty)'s voices are hilarious. Yes, some of the jokes are not good. The Lion King joke is wince worthy and I am still not sure if the French pyramid spaceships are an obscure reference to The Fifth Element. I don't know. It doesn't matter. The movie is just to silly to ignore and as the quotes section demonstrates, there are some funny lines in this movie. Although most of the lines are funny simply due to the voice work, this could have been a vanity project that beat it's one joke premise to death. Instead, the joke merely lost an arm, leg, and an eye. I think it has a little bit of a Monty Python or Mel Brooks feel to it. This may not be Mensa material, but at least it isn't another pretentious Adam Sandler "comedy." Badong! Bonus points for the use of MC Hammer's "U Can't Touch This" and Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Baby Got Back."

*Master Tang: This is Ling. Be not alarmed by her shyness for it will pass. (Ling flashes her bra.) There you go!"*
