IMDB

My Kung Fu Sweetheart is the story of a young girl, Phoenix, who is sent off to a kung fu school on Mount Hua. There she learns that her true love will be a man who can see her when it's impossible to be seen. She meets such a man (Dragon, the CEO of the company she works for) when she's scaling the building to avoid being late for work.
Dragon is targeted by an evil kung fu master, White Eyebrows, who has stolen an important textbook from the kung fu academy on Mount Hua. He becomes nearly invincible when he unlocks the power of the text. Dragon is attacked by some of White Eyebrows lackeys, but Phoenix saves him. They team up, along with Phoenix's divorced parents, to defeat White Eyebrows.
This movie is pure HK silliness with a decent amount of kung fu thrown in, along with a lot of gags. This movie has a low score on IMDB (5.8), but it's better than that. It's a fun kung fu romantic comedy with an absurd story. I mean, it's not Before the Devil Knows You're Dead; it's just a fun movie to kill some time and get a few laughs from. That's why I watch movies in the first place.

8/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
