The English title of this movie is Kung Fu Girls, which would seem to promise a cool, action-packed movie. However, this is basically a children's movie about four Taiwanese teenage girls who are working on getting marketed as a pop band, with the "Kung Fu Girls" moniker as their big gimmick.
In order to look like they know kung fu, they are sent to a Chinese temple for a month for training. As you'd expect from material like this, there is a lot of giggles, plenty of typical teenager problems and intrigues and very little real action. Oh, "exciting" things certainly happen to the girls (for instance, their plans are foiled when a bad guy from the record company steals their idea and creates the "Taek Won Do Boyz"), but it's too silly to be realistic, and too realistic to be of much interest to anyone except the t(w)eenage girls this movie is aimed at.
I was fooled by the title, of course, expecting some sexy action, but that was not the case. Even so, it is probably an entertaining movie for its target audience.
My rating: 5 out of 10.
