What to Know

Critics Consensus

Eccentric and sweet, Stephen Chow's latest is charming, but too strangely and slackly plotted to work as a whole.

The writer-director-actor-choreographer Stephen Chow disappoints mightily with CJ7, a dreary follow-up to his witty international hit Kung Fu Hustle. Go to Full Review Larushka Ivan-Zadeh Metro Newspaper (UK) 08/08/2008
Directed by and starring Stephen Chow of Kung Fu Hustle fame, it's definitely one only for the kiddies - those who are prepared to read subtitles. Should be a smash hit, then. Go to Full Review Derek Malcolm London Evening Standard 08/08/2008

Good for kids, probably of all ages. Go to Full Review Brian D. Johnson Maclean's Magazine 11/30/2017
Personally I found it silly but charming. Go to Full Review Kelly Vance East Bay Express 04/28/2011
Has the same moral and thematic contours of E.T. or an old-school Disney animated fable, but with the panache we've come to expect from the creator of Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle Go to Full Review Dave White Movies.com 04/04/2011

thiago s @Thiagostone Oct 23 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more dc z Feb 19 The movie will move you and entertain you. It's probably inspired by ET but it's a little unique piece. Watch it See more francisco m 10/22/2024 lo mejor de lo mejor.

Esta es una película que veía mucho de chico y al volver a verla me sorprendió para bien en varios aspectos. Es bastante entretenida en todo momento, esta llena de momentos algo bizarros pero geniales, y los efectos especiales acompañan mucho para que todo se vea muy bien. El humor de la película también esta bastante bien, creo que cumple y hay algunas escenas algo graciosas. También tiene una parte algo triste la cual no la recordaba así de fuerte, es una escena algo fuerte en la que se te puede llegar a caer alguna que otra lagrima. Por otro lado, el alienígena se me hizo un personaje genial, es bastante tierno y su diseño me gusta mucho, sirve como un gran compañero para el protagonista y tiene algunos toques de comedia. Las actuaciones son excelentes, principalmente las de Stephen Chow, Xu Jiao y Zhang Yuqi. En conclusión, una cinta muy buena para ver en familia, que es muy fácil de ver debido a su corta duración y a su historia tan entretenida y llena de escenas bizarras y alguna que otra que puede hacerte llorar; además de dejar una gran lección de vida. La recomiendo. See more Read all reviews
