CJ7 [DVD]

I am not a film aficionado by any stretch but I know what I like and I liked this movie a lot! Cute and heartwarming, I can’t think of a single thing to criticize about it.

I bought this for a couple of my grand children, but the modes used (which I already knew about) of corporal punishment for children was concerning. I hope folks in the U.S. have evolved a bit further than smacking and spanking their kids. I am giving it first to the parents and asking them to view it and see if they want their kids the watch it.

CJ7 is a heartwarming tale of a boy and his father living in poverty whose lives are changed by the arrival of a cute little alien. It’s sort of a Cinderella meets E.T. kind of story, where the alien companion is like the Fairy Godmother. An action-packed film full of humor and heart. I also bought a copy for my 10 year old niece that adores it (she always wants to watch it and now she can whenever she wants).

his a sony production! i first saw this heartwarming story a few years back on cable and i am sure it may have been overlooked by most…..be sure to check it out as it is such a cute story! a lot can be ‘lost in translation’ so i prefer to watch this movie in cantonese with english subtitles….(dubbed in english just doesn’t cut it) …..if you know what i mean! it is a children’s story and is based along the lines of most disney productions in terms of defeat and triumph in the end! you will definitely get a kick out of the characters, it is a little mix of jackie chan and steven spielberg!

Ich will mal nicht spoilern, aber in dem Film gibt es eine Szene, bei der meine Mutter und ich gemeinschaftlich geheult haben, haha.

Diesen Film habe ich zum ersten Mal gesehen, als ich in Peking war. Von da an wusste ich, dass ich diese DVD kaufen wrde. Der Film ist wirklich total s! Meine Eltern stehen eigentlich so garnicht auf chinesische Filme, aber bei diesem waren wir uns einig. Eindeutig einer meiner Lieblingsfilme! 😀

Un film fantastique pour toute la famille, avec de la joie et de l’motion, pour nous il nous fait dcouvrir un cinma asiatique de qualit et sans rougir des grosses productions US.

I really liked this film, which can be watched with English subtitles and original Mandarin Chinese or With English language in the audio. If watching with the audio words in English, it is actually really good (as many films aren’t).

Suitable for children and adults, it portrays a boy who is always bullied and how an “alien dog” helps him overcome the bullies–is the dog real?/imaginary?–We never really find out which adds to the magic of the film..

I watched this movie whilst on holiday, it was very lovely, about a young very poor family, the boy finds this alien creature who has magical powers to fix things, but it uses the creatures energy, leaving it week and vunverable. This is a heart warming story, and enjoyable to watch.

I stumbled across this movie as a pay-per-view rental while looking for something for my family to watch on a Friday night. My kids were a little put off by the notion of subtitles, but that concern was gone within the first 90 seconds of the movie. I went into the movie with no preconceptions (never heard of Stephen Chow) and was pleasantly surprised by the movie. I laughed so hard I cried, and I just plain cried. It is the little details in this movie that are surprising, funny, and touching. Just see it, with an open mind. Your kids have to be at least old enough to read the subtitles, and probably should be a bit older to really get the most out of the movie. It is NOT primarily about the cute little character, CJ7. It is more about the relationships between Dicky and his father and classmates, and how they are affected by what happens after CJ7 arrives. I am here to buy many copies for friends.
