Dre Parker moved to China because of his mother's job. On his first day in China, he met some local bullies who intentionally beat him up in front a whole crowd. But on the positive side, he has fallen for a girl name Mei Ying. After the embarrassment, Dre decided that he needs to learn karate and gives some payback to those local bullies. One day while the bullies were playing, Dre Parker sabotaged them. When the bullies found out, they went and beat Dre up again. But this time Mr. Han(Jackie Chan), the maintenance man, came to his rescue.

I really like the movie; there're several comedy-intended effects in the movie--a lot of them from Dre Parker(Jaden Smith).

The crying scenes from both Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan were acted really well. I don't know how they did it, but their eyes actually turn red and you can actually see little droplets of tears coming down. Why were they crying? That's for you to find out.
