(PG) 94min

Chan fans will enjoy the first five minutes of uber-hack Brian Levant’s patronising comedy-thriller, which opens with a montage of stunts from Chan’s earlier films. Thereafter, Chan struggles with a glib scenario in which, as secret agent Bob Ho, he attempts to win the affections of pretty neighbour Gillian (Amber Valetta) and her smart-mouthed brood of tykes. An oil based world-in-peril subplot interrupts any emotional involvement, leaving Chan with little to offer but a set of arthritic, clearly wire-work assisted stunts.
