Anyways, it's a custom now that whenever Jackie makes a new movie my family goes to see it. Jackie's latest movie is called, "The Spy Next Door" and it stars Billy Ray Cyrus alongside Chan. This gives you a taste for the caliber of movie.
It wasn't the best cinematic experience I've ever had but I realized that there are some gimmicks that withstand the test of time; one being potty humor.
In the first ten or so minutes of the movie we learn that Jackie Chan is an international spy on loan to the US. He wants to get out of the spy business to settle down. His US superior jokes with him (while Billy Ray chuckles in the back ground) that being a spy is the best because nothing tastes better than eating take-out Chinese food in the back of a van and learning how to pee in a bottle when the van is moving.
My little brother cracked up and I though he was going to pee himself.
The movie went on after the meet up with the bad guys (Russians, of course) and yada yada, end of the movie!
We asked my brother what his favorite part was and he said, "When da guy was talkin' about da van, and he said 'pee!" He then proceeded to laugh even harder than he did in the theater.
The movie was full of cliches but the kids loved it. It's good to know that there are still standards that are acceptable in today's cinema world.
