Around the World in 80 days

Has anyone seen it.  It is the one with Jackie Chan.  I really enjoyed it.  I was shocked because my sister Sarah's tastes in movies are well....no comment.  But this was funny and worth while.

I saw it.

If you liked this version then see the one filmed in the 1950s.

It is better. The Mexican comedian that plays the part Jackie Chan plays is excellent. It stars David Niven and Shirley Maclaine and the Mexican whose name escapes me.
