A bet pits a British inventor (Steve Coogan), a Chinese thief (Jackie Chan), and a French artist (Cécile De France) on a worldwide adventure that they can circle the globe in 80 days.

I'm VERY not fond of these movies that take fairy tales or dated stories and throw all this modernized humor into them. (Another prime example - Ella Enchanted.) It really ruins the spirit of the story. That being said, it makes sense that I wasn't crazy about this movie and found it mostly just silly. I mean, come on. Martial arts in the middle of this story? Pfft. However, there *was* one part where I began to giggle uncontrollably... that San Francisco beggar was GREAT! Reminded me of the Clown or whoever the one loony guy was from Much Ado About Nothing. "Hey! Give me some money please!" "Sure, whatever you want, just don't touch me, you stink!"
