I love Stephen Chow movies, simply of its ridiculous brand of humour. Sometimes it is there for no reasons, just to add some laughter. This CNY, CJ7 was highly anticipated. It was known to a sci-fi themed movie and as it gets nearer, an ET-alike plot was made known.

His last 2 movies was full of CG effects and this one continued its direction which costs about US $20 million to make.

Actually, plot or story wise for Chow movie doesn't really matters. It becomes evident in CJ7 as well. Though the main theme is the relationship of a sci-fi creature which looks like a dog and its owner, Chow and his little son, Dicky, the main playing ground is still in school where his son was studying.

Hideous females or male as female is a popular scene from Chow's movie. 如花 famous and known by any Chow's movie fan, actually is a male with long hair. This time round is a "jurassic park" girl student who was bullied by a boy gang. Dicky tries to save her though not of much help but in return she likes him in "big" proportion. Even better, she has a 1900-你 寂 寞 吗 ? kinda of voice .... Kaoz !

As the movie goes on, it tries to depict the relationship between father and son in a 无哩头 manner. Almost everything they used are picked up elsewhere, and he picked a greenish ball like thingie from rubbish dump for him to play after he wants to buy a robotic doggy badly.

Why CJ7 ? Apparently a robotic dog owned by a rich kid in school is called CJ1. So when dicky went to school with this greenish ball, he proudly named it CJ7. Then came the transformation, the ball turned into a doggy. And dicky dreamt that it is like somekind alien super doggy and can give him anything he wants. With MI3 kind specs that helped him cheat in exams, matrix style kung-fu fighting, all-in-one ultimate sports shoes, etc.

Thinking his dream was real, he brings CJ7 to school, wanting CJ7 to help him to score 100 at a test. Of course it didn't work, what he got was a pile of shit from CJ7, thinking that could help, he took the test with a pile of shit on his hand.

If there is a school, there must be teachers. Kitty Zhang played the "vase" who is a caring teacher which helped Dicky to score 65 in a test. And somehow female teachers in this school wears tight fitting, body hugging, qi-pao at school, 不 fail 才怪 !!!

Things starts to looks good for Dicky, a new alien-doggy pet, helpful chiobu teacher, the boy gang made friends with him ... Though Chow was angry with him when he faked the marks for his test.

Then things got worse, Chow got himself in a chow-style accident at work and died in hospital. Dicky cannot accept the truth and broke down.

CJ7 with all its power revive Chow and Dicky was thrilled. All's well ends well. 8/10
