Now, all I can say first off is this is exactly what you thought it would be. Hollywood took a popular Japanese anime, and turned it into an American teenager popcorn flick. If you are upset when a movie does not stay true to the original work, then this is not the movie for you.
In the beginning, we find Goku on his 18th birthday, and as a present his Grandfather gives him the four star Dragonball. Soon he leaves to ride his bike to school, thats right, Goku is a high school student. Goku is picked on by the school jocks and wishes he could get with one of the popular girls who we soon find out is Chi-Chi. The usual high school underdog cinema junk.
While trying to win the heart of Chi-Chi, he also faces the dangers of Lord Piccolo (who looks more like a Buffy Vampire) who has returned to Earth in search of the Dragonballs. After bumping into Bulma and recruiting the help of Master Roshi, who lives in an apartment building in the city, they set out to protect the Earth.
Since I watched Dragonball, Dragbonball Z, and Dragonball GT when I was younger, my curiosity forced me to try it. It couldn't hold my interest for very long sadly, and I didn't finish the movie. I highly suggest waiting till DVD to purchase/rent. You're probably even better off just finding a torrent of it out there.
