If this is supposed to be a "family" film, this particular family didn't go for it. Less than half way through, my daughter said, "I want to go home". So we walked out and got our refunds.
Not that we were offended or anything. Just bored. I'm a big Jackie Chan fan, love Jules Verne, love wacky inventions, etc. But this film lacked true comedic spark. Something about the timing was off. Too bad. Some kids in the crowed theater seemed to like it though. There was a fair amount of laughter, but not from my family.
It made we want to rent The Great Race again (which IMHO, is vastly superior to either version of of Around the World...).
