CJ7 Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
I don't doubt [Stephen Chow's] talent. With this one, though, I doubt his story sense and his borderline-insane mixture of tones.
Chicago Sun-Times
Jim Emerson
This is a fable of forgiveness and regeneration, but it delves into a child's deepest, darkest fears. Fortunately, things turn out OK in the end.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
CJ7 is precisely the 80-something minutes of delirium and cheesy special-effects you'd expect from the man responsible for the chaos of Shaolin Soccer and the lunacy of Kung Fu Hustle.
Houston Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
For all its mawkish plot turns and indecipherable trippiness, this is not a boring movie. It's just wiggy. And schmaltzy. And Spielbergian. And, uh ... wait. I think I've got a Jujube in my teeth.
San Francisco Chronicle
G. Allen Johnson
This is lesser Chow because there is less Chow.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
It's the low-tech side of Stephen Chow's fantasy that proves the most interesting.
Seattle Times
Jeff Shannon
CJ7 is wildly entertaining at times, but when it comes to telling an actual story, Chow could use some tutoring from the clever folks at Pixar.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Chow's loyal fans are sure to be disappointed by CJ7, and the film faces one other significant problem in traveling to these shores: Any kid who is the right age to appreciate this pap is going to be too young to read subtitles.

Sara Michelle Fetters
In other words, this is a highly messy production, and as much as I want to embrace everything that the director has up his immensely intriguing sleeves sometimes a person just has to admit defeat and move on.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Even with its flaws this comedy is more interesting kids' fare than most sanitized studio releases.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
CJ7 is too bizarre an amalgam of sappy sentimentality and life-on-the-streets edginess.
AV Club
Tasha Robinson
Shows signs that Chow is trying to put more thought and heart into his films, with uneven success.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
What could possibly have possessed Stephen Chow, the mad scientist of slapstick chopsocky who made Kung Fu Hustle, to follow up that psychedelic pinwheel of a movie by entangling himself in CJ7?
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Crust
Its occasionally endearing schmaltz is eclipsed by bizarre shifts in tone and a lackluster story.
Newsday
Jan Stuart
It is safe to say that no one makes movies quite like Hong Kong's clown impresario Stephen Chow.
I.E. Weekly
Amy Nicholson
Chow's latest might sell a lot of toys; still, it can't sell tears and the great gooey third act burns out like a meteor.
L.A. Weekly
Ella Taylor
If CJ7 is a slapstick action picture that doffs its cap to children's delight in casual brutality, it's also a sweet-tempered and oddly beautiful piece of schmaltz that sends up its own populist family values without ever betraying them.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
CJ7 is heavy on slapstick and may appeal to very young viewers who won't need to bother much with the subtitles.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Above all the movie has a heart, a mind and a gentleness of spirit that parents will welcome, while the frequent flights of fancy ensure that no child will be left behind.
The Hollywood Reporter
Maggie Lee
A hyperactive, wishful-thinking special effects fantasy suitable for family outings.
