THE KARATE KID Opens Nationwide June 11

Enter for your chance to win a pass, good for two!

Synopsis:

In Columbia Pictures’ The Karate Kid, 12-year-old Dre Parker (Jaden Smith) could’ve been the most popular kid in Detroit, but his mother’s (Taraji P. Henson) latest career move has landed him in China. Dre immediately falls for his classmate Mei Ying – and the feeling is mutual – but cultural differences make such a friendship impossible. Even worse, Dre’s feelings make an enemy of the class bully, Cheng. In the land of kung fu, Dre knows only a little karate, and Cheng puts “the karate kid” on the floor with ease. With no friends in a strange land, Dre has nowhere to turn but maintenance man Mr. Han (Jackie Chan), who is secretly a master of kung fu. As Han teaches Dre that kung fu is not about punches and parries, but maturity and calm, Dre realizes that facing down the bullies will be the fight of his life.

SCREENINGS ARE TUESDAY, JUNE 7 and THURSDAY JUNE 9

  • When I was a kid it was one of my favorite movies. And I would love to see the remake of Jackie Chan.

  • I loved the first one and I saw Jaden on the Ellen show and he was awesome. Ellen ask him if he did all the moves and he showed her what he could do. He will be as great as his mom and dad as an actor.

  • Jackie Chan is a great actor, I saw all he's movies. Now I want to see how good he really is as a teacher. Jaden is a handsome young man that can make it like his mom and dad there are wonderful parents. I know this movies will be the number one on the charts.
