Around The World In 80 Days
In this highly inventive take on Verne';s classic, Passepartout (Chan) must make it to China in order to return a valuable jade Buddha that was stolen from his family';s village. He seeks refuge with an eccentric London inventor, Phineas Fogg (Coogan), who puts his reputation, fortune, and career on the line in a daring bet to make it around the world in eighty days. Joining them is Monique (De France), a young French artist who decides that a trip around the world would provide new inspiration. Opposing the group is Lord Kelvin (Broadbent), who';s wagered his position as head of the Royal Academy of Science against their journey';s success. Their incredible adventure spans many colorful and exotic lands from historic London to Paris, Turkey, India, China, across the Great Seas, to a burgeoning United States, and more. Along the way, the group encounters an eclectic assortment of characters including Queen Victoria (Bates), a Scotland Yard Sergeant (Cleese), a hot air balloon engineer (Branson), a Turkish Prince (Schwarzenegger), an eccentric inventor (Schneider), the Wright Brothers (Owen and Luke Wilson), and many other international star cameos.

I was amazed at how little actually happens for a movie with so much action.

The heart and soul of it, the story and the casting, are a complete mess.

Despite the rush to get everyone from place to place, director Frank Coraci luxuriates in colorful visual detail and gives the locals their due.

...Fogg essentially winds up playing second-banana to Passepartout - a disastrous choice that simply does not work.

Mildly amusing Jackie Chan adventure.

Se eu fosse descendente de Verne processaria os produtores desta adaptação pavorosa por mancharem o nome da família ao incluí-lo nos créditos iniciais.

It was exactly what I expected and that's something I didn't really want to see.

It's ironic that this film is less about traveling and more about beating the crap out of people all over the world.

Has that cheesy, chintzy mid-Florida feel that we all know and love, despite its $110 million budget.

Around the World in 80 Days is never as delightful and silly as it needs to be.

Amiably dorky redo.

The gags are physical but rarely funny.
