Enthusiastic, big and a little clumsy, Po works in his family’s noodle shop while daydreaming about becoming a Kung Fu master. His dreams soon become reality when he is unexpectedly chosen to join the world of Kung Fu and study alongside his idols-the legendary fighters 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 hero into reality? Po puts his heart and his girth into the task, and ultimately finds that his greatest weaknesses turn out to be his greatest strengths.

Summary: Great friggin movie
Comment: This was hilarious. It made my whole family cry until it hurt. I don't think we have all laughed together like that ever. Check it out!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Amazing movie
Comment: Get this dvd because it is a beautifully rendered, dazzling piece of animation. The story is not particularly clever or interesting but so what? Jack Black is great and the movie is pure eye candy.

Summary: Could have been a lot better
Comment: The three-year old loves this movie and, quite honestly, that is the only reason to own it. Of course, if you're a parent who would appreciate not exposing your little one to excessive violence, then you still might want to give this one a pass.
I really expected more from it considering it boasted the talents of Hoffman, Jolie, and McShane. Mostly the adults in the room were totally bored and ready for it to be over. Kadden, the three-year old, had a ball with it.
If you must see it, borrow or rent.

Summary: Two boys' review: Kung Fu inspires kids to follow their dreams
Comment: MY sons, ages 6 and 4, haven't stopped practicing their Kung Fu moves in our living room, cutting the air with their hands and feet. More importantly, the story's message -- believing in yourself and reaching for your dreams -- is not lost on them.
Po, the titular panda, is often silly but he's never mean-spirited in his pursuit of his destiny. My sons cheered him on as he and the Furious Five took on kung fu warrior Tai Lung.
Most of the laughs occur during Po's training, as he befuddles master Shifu (Dustin Hoffman gets in some great lines here) and offends the Furious Five -- Tigress, Monkey, Mantis, Crane and Viper, only to later gain their respect.
This is a fun movie for young kids. Parents can relax knowing it is age-appropriate entertainment that will be enjoyed for repeat viewings.

Summary: Fun, Fun, Fun
Comment: I had an opportunity to watch Kung Fu Panda with the family last night. The movie was very entertaining with several laugh out loud moments. Po Panda, as voiced by Jack Black, was hilarious with many witty one-liners. Other voice work actors included Angelina Jolie, Jackie Chan, Seth Rogan, and Dustin Hoffman, excellent as the voice for Kung Fu master Shifu.
The film is rated PG as there are numerous scenes involving martial arts combat. I did not find it too violent for young children over the age of 9 years old. I am sure it would not be bad for younger as well, but that is each parent's call.
The message in the movie was very positive and delivered in a way that was a lot of fun. This is a movie that the entire family can enjoy, as mine sure did.
I give this a strong 4.5 star rating. Great fun, funny, and with a great message. Enjoy!
