Review of CJ7 (2008) by Emmanuel T — 20 Jul 2012

CJ7 is about a boy named, Dicky who lives with his father in a junkyard. At first his life is boring and depressing, that is until one day when he finds a strange alien figure who he names, "CJ7".

Okay now before we get to the real review here's a fun fact, Dicky is actually played by a female actress. No really. Anyways, this movie seems to have a bit of the plot from "E.T." But of course, something's are more different.

In fact a lot of things are different, for example the family in which E.T. visited did not live in a junkyard. At first this movie starts off sweetly and charming as well, but as the story moves on the entire film turns out to be an exaggerated Comedy with over the top bullying (meant for humor), foolish behavior (coming from both kids and adults), and some crude scenes as well (in one scene CJ7 poops in Dicky's hand for no reason).

Children will most definitely enjoy this movie because of its continuous humor and the adorable "CJ7". Adults will also find something to like in it because while this movie may only offer humor for children, it also adds some drama and serious situations.

But you'll have to watch the movie in order to find out what these serious situations are. So overall, the whole concept of the movie is meant to be targeted to young audiences. And while it may be a bit too weird at most times, its charm will win over children.

And even adults.
