Review of CJ7 (2008) by Cindy L — 27 Jun 2009
CJ7 is a very amusing HK kids movie starring Stephen Chow as a poor person struggling to make ends meet. Every penny he earns on a building site goes to sending his son Dicky to a posh school even though he's teased for being so poor.
One evening whilst scouring the local rubbish tip, the father picks up a green ball unaware that it's an alien lifeform. Soon Dicky and the alien dog-like pet he names CJ7 are causing chaos at school.
It's a nice change of genre for Stephen Chow to be involved in a kids movie. I thought it was wonderful. Similarities to E.T are justified. It turns somewhat sad towards the climax but the ending brings a happy conclusion to what I thought was a great family movie.
