CJ7

CJ7 is a Sci-Fi Comedy film by Stephen Chow, about a strange alien creature that is discovered by a poor Chinese man and his son. CJ7 was released on March 7, 2008 and received mixed reviews from the critics.

The American release of "CJ7" presents a paradox. This film is aimed at ages between "Teletubbies" and "Dora the Explorer," but unless your kids already speak Cantonese (or read lips in Mandarin, which is what most of the actors spoke during production), they're probably not going to be able to interpret the English subtitles. So the people who would most appreciate "CJ7" probably aren't old enough to see it. — Jim Emerson, RogerEbert.com

If CJ7 never rises above its original inspiration, it still manages to tug a few heartstrings and provide plenty of laughs along the way. It feels rather like a love letter from Stephen Chow to the world. — Cinematical
