CGiii Comment

The Karate Kid goes gay - courtesy of Bruce Lee's god-daughter - who writes, directs and acts.

And. it's all a little overwrought, unsophisticated and deeply flawed with some seriously ropey acting.

BUT...it does have a great big heart - and that's not always a bad thing.

The(ir) Blurb...

After punks at school hand him multiple savage beatings, gay teen McClain Evans, discreetly begins martial arts training with Karen O'Neil, a mysterious woman who had her own cross to bear with the prejudiced and bigoted small town community.
