Nobody was saying that female culture doesn't have it's silly aspects. That's not the point here.

As a native Chinese speaker myself, I thought RDJ's mandarin was one of the funniest moments of the whole movie. The nonsense that he was speaking was hysterical!

that was on purpose. they purposely spoke terribly, part of the satire on hollywood.

That bizarre combination of cute on the one hand, and frighteningly evil and intimidating on the other, was just hilarious. That kid obviously knows how to act. Bet you he knows how to make people laugh too. I think he might be my new hero.
