The Karate Kid (PG)
29 July 2010
ANOTHER 1980s success story gets a 21st century makeover as Jaden Smith, son of Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, stars in THE KARATE KID (PG).
Twelve-year-old Dre Parker could have been the most popular kid in Detroit, but his mother's latest career move has landed him in China.
Dre immediately falls for his classmate Mei Ying - and the feeling is mutual - but cultural differences make such a friendship impossible.
Even worse, Dre's feelings make an enemy of the class bully, and kung fu prodigy, Cheng.
With no friends in a strange land, Dre has nowhere to turn but maintenance man Mr Han (Jackie Chan), who is secretly a master of kung fu.
As Han teaches Dre that kung fu is not about punches and parries, but maturity and calm, Dre realises that facing down the bullies will be the fight of his life.
