hehe seems okay, Jackie Chan is always fun to watch. I do get a baby's day out feeling from it tho.

All the more sad that it didn't turn out to be the Hung/Yuen/Chan reunion film it was reported to be at first. It sure looks like a throwback to more of a LUCKY STARS series kind of vibe. But then Benny Chan's name pops up in the credits. Well, at least I'm clearly not supposed to take this at all seriously, and if the Benny Chan - Jackie Chan team has one proven strength, it's movies I can't take seriously. It might be watchable. And at least it's not Stanley Tong in the director's chair, so it could be worse.

I was rooting for the '3 Brothers' reunion myself, but this has taken on a slightly different timbre since then.

I'm now a bit conflicted between my knee-jerk dislike of movies featuring infants and the fact that this does (as Rhythm-X alludes) look pleasantly 'old school' as far as Jackie's films go. Quickly, to the next trailer!

I like the movie because the baby is very cute and smarte. Jackie Chan is the best actor, he do everything whatever he is happen.
