Despite being a comic genius, Steve Coogan’s acting ability can leave a lot to be desired. Take 80 Days Around The World: a commercialised Jackie Chan film for kids with Coogan in the lead role. The results are quite underwelming.
So much so that I’ll say very little more about the film. A kids film gone wrong.

#Permalink: Eighty Days Around The World, By Gary Fleming
I’m disappointed to note that you didn’t cross-reference your review of The Medallion….
Cheers,
Derek.

OK so it’s mostly baws… but it has the line “You had me at nipples” which really tickles my funny bone.

Derek: you are of course correct in suggesting that the other review would’ve been a good reference point. Cheers
Neil: Maybe I undersold it slightly. It does have some quality lines, but not enough to make it worth seeing.

Can i further ppoint out that Neil said it would be good! Arnie, baws in the film, and it was also called Around the World in 80 Days, not as Gary has called, but that is a minor adjustment, the film was baws, no questions.
