Taraji P. Henson – My Filmviews

Before giving my opinion on this movie I have to admit that I hardly remember anything about the 1984 original. I watched the original trailer on Youtube and still a lot of scenes were not familiar. So it’s been a while since I saw that version. As this new movie is targeted towards kids there will probably not be a lot of them who have seen the original. So I will not make comparisons. The new Karate Kid is a remake that takes the idea of the original and gives it its own twist.

Phil (Steve Carell) and Claire (Tina Fey) Foster have been married for many years. They work very hard and have two kids. After all these years the excitement of their marriage is starting to disappear. Even their weekly date night is not that special anymore as they go out to eat at the same restaurant and are home again before ten o’clock. When they hear that some close friends of theirs are splitting up, Phil decides to do something different on their date night. They head for Manhattan to eat at a very trendy restaurant, which Claire has been wanting to eat at for ages. When they arrive they find out that the restaurant is so popular that you a reservation has to be made months in advance. Phil does not want to go and decides to pretend he’s someone else when a name of another couple is called and no one responds. While they are enjoying the excellent food they are approached by two men who ask them to step outside as they need something from them. This is the start for a fun (and exciting) comedy Continue reading →
