Good use of Jack Black. Be Kind Rewind was OK; but I don’t think it utilized him as well as it could have, and The NeverEnding Story III was an abomination even he couldn’t save.
I’m wondering if this movie was responsible for kicking the whole panda thing into high gear, or if it was only joining a preexisting bandwagon. Pandas really started showing up all over the place around that time, like, super-saturation.
