This was a pleasant surprise. It's quite funny and enjoyable, with intentionally corny humor and some fun martial arts scenes. As a middle aged guy, the humor around getting old and feeling your body falling apart really landed with me.

Matthew Page as Carter is terrific. He plays the Tiger's less talented childhood rival who is often the butt of the joke. But he's not just a one-dimensional comic relief character, thankfully. The writing is better than that.

The one part of this movie I will critique is the final enemy they have to face. Although the climactic battle scene is pretty cool, [spoiler]the bad guy is cartoonishly evil and is so overpowered that it strains belief to imagine he would lose that fight. I wish they would have developed his character more and made him more well-rounded. But instead they went with the old trope of Good defeating Evil and overcoming impossible odds.[/spoiler]
