She's constantly smiling ear to ear, giggling maniacally, or bouncing around like a lunatic, for 90% of the movie it almost seems that Kitty was mandated to down a greenie/red bull/wellbutrin cocktail before each take. Kitty's character often appears to be borderline insane in her relentless positive outlook on life. Sure enough, he's the main credited writer, and this production clearly has all of the earmarks and undertones of his trademark approach to storytelling. It took me about 1 or 2 minutes into viewing this film to say to myself, "Hmmm, this movie seems like Stephen Chow must be involved somehow". That being said (written), I personally couldn't dance my way out of a wet paper bag, so I cannot say anything more than that about this aspect of the film.
#YOU TUBE KITTY JUMP TV#
A few more random thoughts: I was not really all that impressed with the dance scenes I've seen better in other movies and any number of Asian dance/survival TV shows. I've seen him in a ton of stuff, and he's never awful and doesn't irritate me per se, but I just don't see the star power that he apparently is supposed to have. The rest of the cast consists of the main love interest played by Daniel Wu, her best friend from back home, her dad she left behind, the snotty dance crew who come to embrace her, and a few other people they're mostly serviceable, but I've never really quite understood the appeal of Daniel Wu. And of course, there's one scene in the movie where the rich playboy invariably takes her to a high end beauty salon & clothier, and she's instantly turned into a young goddess ready for a night on the town with the cool kids and rich people.

She's plays the unkempt country girl who one day blossoms into an urban beauty.as usual, it's pretty clear she's very attractive to begin with, whether she's farming in northern China or dancing on the streets of downtown Hong Kong, but apparently no one can see this until she gets the "pretty movie makeover treatment". Kitty represents herself well enough for what she's asked to do.

Is this version of this age old tale worth checking out?.Probably not, but you won't kill yourself if you watch it. This movie is oh so predictable, and it's a story that's been told a thousand times before fish out of water ugly duckling finds her calling in the bright lights of the big city while making friends and finding love. Along the way, she catches the eye of the playboy rich dude who owns the dance studio, and romance between the two is afoot. Then, everybody is now good friends and she's welcomed in as part of the dance crew that's soon set to face off against the "evil" Korean dance team champs. Stuck up rich kids who comprise the dance crew treat the country girl like dirt and make fun of her, until one day, she tires of the bullying and shows off her newfound dance moves. She stays late at night at the dance studio to study & practice, and she sleeps and eats whenever she can. By day, she works in a textile factory, and at night, she is the janitor of a dance studio where she picks up what moves she can by observing the dance crew while mopping the floors. She scrounges & scrapes, and works her ass off to blindly achieve her goal all the while playing the naïve bumpkin with a heart of gold who couldn't be happier. SPOILERS AHEAD! "Jump" stars Kitty Zhang as a country farm girl who goes to the big city to chase her dreams of becoming a hip-hop dancer. That sentence pretty much sums up the entire movie sufficiently enough, and I could end this review right here and just rate the thing. Jump is a 2009 Chinese movie that's basically a tame version of "Step Up" meets 'Shaolin Soccer".
