How to train our dragon review
How to train our dragon is a hilarious movie about a 16 year old young man, Kuang Long, who wants to be free from his 5 over protective older sisters. When Kuang Long was a child he got his heart broken, so his 5 older sisters promise him that they will never let any girl hurt him again. Kuang Long thought that this was an encouragement to go chase after the girl, but instead all the sisters get mad at him and the oldest sister tells him to never think about ever getting a girlfriend in this life time again.We move forward to 7 years later where Kuang Long is now 16. To gain his freedom to date again, he must find a girlfriend that meets all of his older sister's requirements. The oldest sister lays out the requirements. First, the girl must have the oldest sister's gentleness. Second, the girl must have the second oldest sister's elegance. Third, the girl must have the fifth oldest sister's diligence. Fourth, the girl must have the fourth oldest sister's attentiveness. And fifth, the oldest sister has a hard time coming up with a requirement so she just said the girl must have the third oldest sister's hair style. Of course the sisters are opposite of the requirements.
So Kuang Long sets off to find a girlfriend. He has a though time finding one. But lucky for him, the new female transfer student, Xiao Meng, loves to help people. The reason is because she has just transferred school 13 times within the year, so she has the tendency to always please others as quick as possible.
Kuang Long and his friend hatches a plan to get her to help Kuang Long. Kuang Long wanted his friend to speak highly of him in front of the Xiao Meng, but the friend instead tells her that Kuang Long is going to go crazy due to his 5 older sisters wanting to harvest his organs. The only way the sisters would not harvest his organs is if Kuang Long falls in love.
Xiao Meng doesn't want to pretend to be Kuang Long's girlfriend at first, but after the incident at the zoo, she sees Kuang Long's fourth and fifth oldest sisters come in to check on him. They check on his head, arms, feet, and his male part. Instead of seeing it as love, Xiao Meng thinks they only care about his organs, so she says she is Kuang Long's girlfriend. So now they must prove to the sisters that their love for each other is real.
One of the only complaints I have about the movie is that the 5 older sisters didn't get enough development, but considering the time constraint of a movie, they provided enough info for the viewers to distinguish the different personalities of the sisters.
This movie keeps the comedy coming and you're laugh all the way from the beginning to the end. I give this movie a 9.5 out of 10, and I highly recommend it to people who love slap stick comedy with a side of romance. It is almost like an anime come to life.
