CJ7
Unless you're a die-hard fan of Stephen Chow, you might find this movie way off from his usual fare. This is completely different from his "Shaolin Soccer" and "Kung Fu Hustle"--both of which I liked. "CJ7" is more for kids rather than adults. The CG animation is pretty good, but not seamless. There's a lot of slapstick, so watch this with a bunch of goofy friends who enjoy that stuff, otherwise you'll be enduring some awkward moments of silence.
Another difference from Chow's last films is that he's not really the star of "CJ7." We see more of the kid, who is cute and funny in his own way. If you're expecting to see more of Chow, you'll be disappointed. Awkward as it may be, there's a really touching moment onscreen. I cried my eyes out. It might even be too intense for younger ones.
