I gave it 4 stars because it featured the icon himself, Pat Morita, as well as Candace Towers and Hillary Swank. Yes, the movie was poorly written, but seeing that we have Cobra Kai now, how amazing would an appearance by Julie Pearce be to train Samantha the Miyagi way; the same way she was taught by him?
Again, not the greatest movie ever made, but grateful it was made. Seeing Pat Morita again made my 2021 (just rewatched it on Netflix for the first time in years!)
Watch for nostalgia purposes and you'll be fine.
