I just returned from watching it with my entire family (there were ten of us, so it was great that a couple of the kids had won free movie tickets from a recent swim team competition!), and we thought that it was great for kids of all ages. There were some very good moral lessons, as noted by Keon, and there was the bonus of the movie's downplaying of eastern philosophy and religion. There was some of that included to be sure, but much less than could have been the case in a movie of that genre. Even more so, it was just plain funny! At several points in the film the entire audience erupted in laughter, kids and parents alike. The fight scenes were well done, and some of the story was actually quite moving.

We will definitely buy it for the family when it comes out on DVD.
