So Jaden is 12, and looks 10. Ralph Macchio was in his early twenties, turning 16 on-screen. I guess to watch it, I'd have to get the original out of my head.

So my burning question - does Jaden have the acting chops?

All things considered, age and the likes, hes a pretty good actor. You can tell his parents are teaching him to take things seriously.

I try not to compare remakes with originals at all costs. If you treat it as its own movie you will more than likely be entertained.
