Title: You'll enjoy it if you go in both eyes open
Review: This is not a great movie. Everyone is a stereotype, and everyone takes their role in this movie waaaaaay too seriously. The plot is as believable as an oral bowel movement. But is it enjoyable? **YES!!!**I love this movie so much it's absurd. The overacting, the improbable story, the ridiculous wardrobes, it's everything that made the late 80s/early 90s great. And then, to top it all off, the martial arts are incredible. In fact the movie merely acts as a vessel for capoeira in the same way a plate is the vessel for a dinner. This move highlights capoeira in a way that is not plausible at all to the layman, but any traditional martial artist will recognize, as a way to improve lives.The movie is lovable in the same way Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension is lovable, in a completely ridiculous way. Don't expect a great movie, just an enjoyable one.
