Around the World in 80 Days (2004), starring Jackie Chan, Steve Coogan, Cecile de France. I can't say I was disappointed in this film, because I wasn't expecting much. But boy, what a piece of crap. The parts that are supposed to be funny are mostly just embarrassing, the Jackie Chan martial arts scenes are poorly choreographed, and the story is for the most part just dull. It's hard to imagine how even a child could be amused by this pale new version of the 1956 movie based on Jules Vernes' book. Some viewers may enjoy the many cameos. Grade: C-.
