Verdict: To be quite honest, these two smart, happy movie stars prove that silliness doesn't have to be moronic! Surprisingly delightful this time the silliness is as contagious as it is outrageous and is easily the best recent English-language film Chan has done — which isn't saying much though! But then again, you could just cynically observe that 'Shanghai Knights' faithfully recreates the first film's mix-master melange of high energy pratfalls, cultural misunderstandings, self-referential gags and anachronistic music! I'd say that it's got success pretty much written all over it then!
