Synopsis:
Enthusiastic, big and a little clumsy, Po is the biggest fan of Kung Fu around, which doesn't exactly come in handy while working every day in his family's noodle shop. Unexpectedly chosen to fulfill an ancient prophecy, Po's dreams become reality when he joins the world of Kung Fu and studies alongside his idols, the legendary Furious Five--Tigress, Crane, Mantis, Viper and Monkey--under the leadership of their guru, Master Shifu. But before they know it, the vengeful and treacherous snow leopard Tai Lung is headed their way, and it's up to Po to defend everyone from the oncoming threat. Can he turn his dreams of becoming a Kung Fu master into reality? Po puts his heart - and his girth - into the task, and the unlikely hero ultimately finds that his greatest weaknesses turn out to be his greatest strengths.

Review:
There's not too much to say about this film; it's funny, witty, cute, and loveable. All characters are so mean to Po and it really just makes you love him more. I felt so bad for him the whole time. Jack Black did a great job of giving Po life, as well as the rest of the movie. There were plenty of funny scenes scattered around, as well as scenes that you didn't even know what to think of. The visuals in the film were great; bright colors, unique character designs, and good scenery. The only thing I would have made better about the movie would be the training portion it. You didn't get to see a lot of what Po did with the Master and it would have been cooler to see all his moves and whatnot. Overall, the movie was really good. I know you boys would never want to watch this movie, but see it with your girlfriend or something. It's cute :]
