"JUMP"

Just went to see this off-broadway show tonight. It was pretty funny. The show reminded me the old TV show in Taiwan "Golden Partner."

REVIEW SUMMARY
This lowbrow South Korean entertainment, which was first presented in 2003 and has since toured the world, is not without charms. It tries to be a kind of live-action Jackie Chan film. Wearing martial arts outfits, the cast of archetypes includes a blushing ingénue, a goofball uncle and a doddering old man. A sliver of a plot emerges from the series of sketches, but it’s really incidental to the main attractions: comic mugging and elaborately choreographed fights. When the actors stick to the acrobatics, as in the rousing finale, the show has a certain kick. The energy fizzles out, though, when the kicks and punches turn to comedy. With generous amounts of mugging, hackneyed physical humor and a weird fixation on the rear end, the creators of the show appear to be aiming for the toddler crowd. But all this hamming proves, among other things, the old cliché that a punch in the face translates much better than a joke. — Jason Zinoman
