Movie Review - CJ7 (2008) – 2.5 stars
I’m not really sure what to think about CJ7. I’m really not sure whether Steven Chow was aiming it at kids or adults. One minute it’s an extraordinary discovery from ‘The Absent Minded Professor’, the next it’s a deep lesson of sacrifice from ‘Life is Beautiful’. If you’re only watching this because you enjoyed Chow’s work on ‘Shaolin Soccer’ and ‘Kung Fu Hustle’, then you might be a bit disappointed. You’ll pick some of the action sequences and jokes, but on the whole this is a very different movie. I’m rating it half way because that’s how it struck me.
