But while Ti does everything possible to give his son the opportunities that he never had, Dicky still feels like a classroom reject due to his tattered clothes and lack of the latest toys. Ti (Chow) is a poor construction worker who breaks his back to ensure that his young son Dicky (Xu Jiao) can stay enrolled in an exclusive private school.
So, if you like silly and sweet family films, seek out Stephen Chow's "CJ-7".Story: A poor Chinese laborer learns important lessons after his son gets a strange new toy.Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle director Stephen Chow returns to the helm for this sci-fi comedy about a struggling single father whose quest to find the perfect toy yields out-of-this-world results. Despite the fact that the boy and his father eat rotten food, there is a scene involving human waste. However, I would've loved the film even more if it didn't take away my apetite. It was a film that I enjoyed but it wasn't the best. "CJ-7" also had a good message for youngsters. It had very weird, fish-out-of-water moments and some touching dialogue. From the subtitles, it was a pretty funny film. The film did not recieve the English dubbing that Chow's other films got. And so, silliness, and often tragedy, occurs when the alien enters their lives. A little furry, cute little alien who he calls, wait for it, CJ-7. An alien who would make a perfect friend for his son. Something you wouldn't find in an American family film. Yup, he dosen't get it for him and a very awkward moment ensues. Dig this: they eat rotten food! *Barfs* Dicky begs his father to get the hottest new toy for him, CJ-6, which is a toy robot. Ti can't seem to afford anything for his son even though he is employed. The film tells the story of an extremely poor single father named Ti and his son, Dicky. Cartoony effects, kids with bully issues, silly parents, yup, Stephen Chow used all of these. It contains many of the elements of his family movies and Chow seems to make use of them. Stephen Chow's "CJ7" is like a Chinese version of a Robert Rodriguez family film. It could be very enjoyable watching with children between 8 and 10 on DVD. These references include Dicky using his super sneakers to kick a soccer ball into the goal, which subsequently collapses (referencing Shaolin Soccer) and Dicky flying into the sky with his sneakers, jumping from the head of an eagle, seeing CJ7's shape as a cloud and using the Buddha's Palm, (referencing Kung Fu Hustle). Of course if you are a fan of the director's Chow work you'll be even more entertained spotting the references to Chow's other films (mainly during Dicky's dream). :-) Overacting is purposely done and it suits well with this kind of comedy, sci-fi, drama, love story mix.
well, you'll have to watch it to find out. but he later finds comfort meeting the pretty Ms. However, Dicky is often bullied by other children and two of his teachers (mainly due to his lowly status). Chow is eager to save money so he can continue sending his son to private school, to ensure that his life will be better in the future. It is not the best of the comedies from this part of the world but this story about Chow Ti (Stephen Chow)- a poor labourer who works on construction sites and lives in a partially demolished house with his son, Dicky (Xu Jiao) - is a charming one. And while it may be a bit too weird at most times, its charm will win over children. So overall, the whole concept of the movie is meant to be targeted to young audiences. But you'll have to watch the movie in order to find out what these serious situations are. 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. Children will most definitely enjoy this movie because of its continuous humor and the adorable "CJ7". 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). In fact a lot of things are different, for example the family in which E.T.
Anyways, this movie seems to have a bit of the plot from "E.T." But of course, something's are more different. Okay now before we get to the real review here's a fun fact, Dicky is actually played by a female actress.
At first his life is boring and depressing, that is until one day when he finds a strange alien figure who he names, "CJ7". CJ7 is about a boy named, Dicky who lives with his father in a junkyard.
