Po's first adventure with a different companion while the Furious Five are busy! Po has proudly gone from Dragon Warrior to Leader of the Valley of Peace while his apprentice Zhen becomes the new Dragon Warrior. The film shows an exciting, adventurous, and even emotional connection between Po and Zhen, who are from similar backgrounds. It also would have been nice if the Furious Five got to have speaking roles when they came back from their break, but thank goodness they showed up for the best part of the whole film---where they meet Zhen when Po starts training her, and they too, train her, they way they had trained Po. No Kung Fu Panda film could ever be resisted, including this one!

It wasn't too bad but not good enough to be successful. One part of the film I didn't like is when the dad accused the son being disrespectful just because he was angry. It was obviously the DAD that was disrespectful (duh)! And the son saying the embarrassment from his dad was one of the best parts about him - that's just preposterous! My advice as a film critic/reviewer - put on some other film, a MUCH better one, especially if you're in any conflict with your parents/caretakers! There were some good laughs but unfortunately it was not that good of a film. I do not recommend it.

Despite how funny it was, the story plot was too worrisome, fearful, and saddening. Some scenes closer to the end were a little bit off such as the middle finger scene in the parking lot, waking people up in the middle of the night, and faking the pushy attitude of business when Michael (Adam Sandler) was really preparing to spend time with his family. The whole fast-forwarding to the future should have only been a temporary nightmare in Michael's slumber, or, better yet, not include the future scenes at all and have Michael learn his lesson differently. Especially because this is a comedy film, those future scenes, especially the saddest scenes should have been entirely dropped out. And, in reality, the jobs we work would be happy, honoured, in fact to let workers spend time with family, friends, and loved ones - especially if you were the boss, where you would be in control of your schedule. While I agree this film is a good lesson about why spending time with others is more important than promotion in business, it is a poor comedy film. I personally don't recommend this film to anyone, especially those in business or formal occupations, even if you watched it with your friends, family, or any other people of yours. You're at risk of entering fear, sadness, and possibly depression from watching this film. It should be avoided under all circumstances.
