It tells the story of an American child who moved to China and learned kung fu from Jackie Chan. After watching it, I found that this is a movie made by Americans for Americans.

This movie must be written by an American. Everyone in it (including the Chinese) speaks and behaves exactly like the American drama, but the background is set in China, and this so-called Chinese background is just driving around the streets of China. (The route is completely unreasonable, how come from the airport to the Bird's Nest through the CCTV pants?), the content is still completely out of line with China.

If the target audience is Chinese, the preferences and tastes of Chinese audiences should be considered. But the movie doesn't really work that way. Chinese children are bullied in groups, aren't they afraid of destroying the image of the Chinese people and hurting the feelings of the Chinese people? So evil martial arts school? Maybe the heroine's typical flat face and narrow eyes can be considered beautiful according to American aesthetics? ...By the way, it also promotes puppy love! This is what Chinese parents hate the most!

Even music. The music in this movie is generally pretty good. Black rock music is dynamic and passionate, making people want to dance with it. The violin is sometimes melodious and sometimes impassioned, all just right. The only piece of Chinese music that appeared, the accompaniment of the Qixi Festival, was extremely vulgar.

Also, the phenomenon of this drama is too serious, there is absolutely no need to last more than 120 minutes. If you delete the violin part and the Jackie Chan family tragedy, it will be within 90 minutes.

Finally, who can tell me why the protagonist's family moved to China? Is it just to provide Jackie Chan with movie themes? ...
