I really want to play soccer!" -- but everyone else will be too busy grinning...to care very much."   Movie Gazette   Anton Bitel B "Kung Fu and sports movies collide in writer/director/actor Stephen Chow's devilishly entertaining Honk Kong action movie."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey C+ "A hard chestnut to swallow."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 3/4 "Shaolin Soccer’s multimedia madness is so excusable because most of its antics are actually more crude than seamless."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez B "Beckham never bent it like this...a delightful, if empty-headed treat."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek B "Stephen Chow has hit on a masterstroke of lunacy."   Mixed Reviews   Gabriel Shanks 3/4 "As long as your expectations are focused in the right direction, it's a sure bet that you'll have a good time watching this infectiously entertaining comedy."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 9/10 "Chow's best movie... one of the best knee-jerk laugh-out-loud crack-ups I've seen in a long time."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 3/4 "The movie is always alternating between narrative crudeness and technical perfection."   MovieMartyr.com   Jeremy Heilman 31/100 "Not the classic it claims to be."   FilmFocus   Joe Utichi 2.5/5 "Overall, the cartoonish hijinks are unrestrained and frankly juvenile; whether that's praise or criticism is a matter of personal taste."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh "Goofily appealing."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson B+ "A very traditional underdog sports team story told in a delightfully untraditional style, with whimsy, fantasy, and heart."   Movie Mom at Yahoo!
