Have loved this movie since it came out!!!!!
This is such an awesome and a movie one can learn from about morals and what is important in life as a family. It's not just funny but sentimental. When this first came out I had a copy of it and my nephews and nieces would watch this over and over nearly everyday. Needless to say, one of their favorites. One of my nephews was 4 and one of the nieces 3 and they couldn't get by in a day without it. Their older sister asked me a couple of months ago about this and it prompted me to search for it and buy it for her. Even at 16 now, she loves this and it's a great memory for her. So I surprised her with this purchase. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone. I'm personally not one for the subtitles so I was really glad that the options were there for the English dubs and turning the subtitles off. After all, I did have to make sure the video was up to par and looked good so I watched it before getting it to her. :D ;)

Best movie I've seen this year
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.

WARNING! PRIME VIDEO VERSION NOT IN ENGLISH!
Let me start by saying, this is one of the best movies ever made, and definitely one of my top ten favorites.Unfortunately, I don't speak Chinese and the description in Prime Video says that this version is in English (like the DVD is) when it actually is only in Chinese. It's not a problem for me, but I have children that can't read yet that I would love to have watch this movie with me since it is a family movie.Unless Prime Video puts the movie in English, get the DVD with the English Dub if you want to watch the movie without reading subtitles, but definitely get the movie.

CJ7 is awesome...
First off the negative reviews surrounding this title seem a little unfair. After reading them, I suspected that this film contained something completely awful. Such was not the case... though it does deal with themes that are a little mature I wouldn't say that this film is for the entire family and that is it's misconception. The film is geared more towards adolecents and adults more so than children. the film is quiky and what you would expect from Chow. but it's humor is somewhat dark at times. Either way, should you sit your 8 year old next to you and view the film? I would say it's probably not the best idea. but it is worth watching for yourself. CJ7 is quirky and sweet.

Stephen Chow !!!!
Such an amazing funny person. I am a big fan on any of Stephen Chows movies. This one is a great for the family to enjoy together. Highly recommend all his films!!! My favorite kind of humor. This kind of stuff, is overall just silly talkings and somethings are not even meant to make sense. Ive never had any one celebrity put me in a laughing fit from beginning to end. What a blessing this man is to be here making all fans have a highly enjoyable time just seeing his facial reactions and his words. If you enjoyed this one, I sincerly recommend "Out of the dark" too. That one has become my new favorite.

I love Stephen Chow, but...
There really isn't much Stephen Chow in 'CJ7', so don't bother watching it for his appearances. Most of the screen time is taken up following a young boy who's poor father (Chow) works very hard to send to a private school. The boy does not fit in with the affluent and aggressive students, and his problems become complicated by the arrival of an alien pet his father finds in the dump.Fans of Chow's films may greatly enjoy the scenes where the young boy dreams of the miraculous things his new pet might accomplish for him at his school. One of these scenes features a hilarious homage to 'Kung Fu Hustle' that was worth the price of the movie for me, but which would be lost on someone unfamiliar with that film.Overall: the plot is painfully predictable, the peril the alien pet is placed in is too intense for very young viewers, the romantic sub-plot is underdeveloped, and there is just too little Stephen Chow. If you are a fan of Chow's films, you will want to see it for completeness. Otherwise, pass.
