Shanghai Noon

This is the giddy and gimmicky action comedy that Wild Wild West should have been. Hong Kong sensation Jackie Chan teams up with low-key comic Owen Wilson (Bottle Rocket) for a free-spirited farce about the adventures of a Chinese Imperial Guard in the Old West. This might not be the stuff of which masterpieces are made, but it sure generates a lot of smiles and goofy grins.
