March 30, 2012Shanghai Noon is a much more accomplished action comedy that Rush Hour, which is a horrible film, and with that said, Jackie Chain redeems himself with this one. This is one good comedy that is lots of fun from start to finish. The film has the right amount of action to go with t... read more

March 18, 2012Though its been a while since I've seen it, it's simply a good time with typical "dodge-by-flipping-around-branches-and-through-tiny-windows.....punch" Jackie Chan action with another reckless guy that adds the comedy to the mix (Rush Hour anyone?)

August 13, 2011just about everything about this film is likeable. it has some solid stunt work, funny scenes, likeable characters, and a really good story for a buddy cop/western/martial arts piece. sure its typical of these kinds of films in many ways, but its one of the funnest films out th... read more

March 30, 2010It's actually kind of a guilty pleasure of mine, such a fun movie. Sure it's not all that breathtaking or as funny as some of the pair's other movies, but I love it for being so innocent and harmless. My favorite part is Owen Wilson's train robbery sketches and utter lack of surr... read more

December 31, 2009A comical Western with an Eastern touch. Entertaining fight sequences, a great comedy partnership between Wilson and Chan and a comedy slant parody of the Western genre.

September 21, 2009This is a fun and refreshing 'buddy' movie with some genuine laughs in it.

It's hard to imagine why anyone of any age would find other elements of this movie's attempt at a comic text even mildly amusing. Full Review

Gough and Millar pepper the story with enough silly gags and droll one-liners that it's easy enough to stay alert between Chan's chest kicks and balletic twirls. Full Review

Gene Seymour, Newsday
If summer movie season is the postmodern equivalent of the traveling circus, then Jackie Chan is a one-man big top, his own ringmaster, acrobat troupe and clown act.

Glenn Lovell, San Jose Mercury News
The plots for most Chan movies are glorified coat hangers on which to drape elaborate fights and sight gags. Shanghai Noon is slightly more sophisticated, but it still treats plot twists and periphera...

This one looks like a sure bet for seven weeks (at least) of audience good fortune.

As western spoofs go, though, Shanghai Noon is whooping good fun. Full Review

One dazzling feat of derring-do follows another, defying descriptions in the speed and bravura of Chan's martial artistry. Full Review

It's not especially good, but not bad, either. Full Review
