KUNG FU GIRL

I enjoyed Kung Fu Girl and think it motivate kids that are experiencing similar difficulties dealing with a bully. We see a young girl, Lisa, struggling with her defeat by the bully but not giving up. Instead, she focuses on practicing her kung fu skills in the virtual world and it pays off in the end. It's a very uplifting movie.

The story follows Lisa, a 12-year-old who practices kung fu, as she fights the school bully and loses. Then, she finds a mysterious helmet that brings her into the virtual world and she begins to transform. Once she returns to the real world, she seizes the opportunity of a school hosted fight to challenge the bully a second time. Despite having difficulties, she manages to defeat the bully with her sheer will and does something unexpected.

The entire buildup of the story is very appealing. It starts with Lisa getting badly beaten by the bully and she goes through a transformation in the virtual world to learn more skills and abilities, which leads her to defeat the bully in the real world. The virtual world part of the film is very interesting; it has period attire and buildings from the Dynasty period. In the second fight with the bully, he tries to use illegal moves to beat her, but she fights back and defeats the bully. The story flows well. It drew me in from the start when we observe the fight between Lisa and the bully. Then, seeing her transform is very inspiring. The costumes and locations are very appropriate, especially in the virtual Dynasty world. The camera work is excellent. The action part, some of which is filmed in slow motion, really highlights the damage it causes to the opponent. The cast is excellent, especially Cherry Tao who plays Lisa. I also like the ending when the bully shakes Lisa's hand and congratulates her for winning.

The film's messages is: do not give up; work hard and you will defeat the obstacle.

I give Kung Fu Girl 4.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 18, plus adults. Reviewed by Tom W., KIDS FIRST!
