2.5/5
"Not crazy enough by a measure, CJ7 beats out family-film duds like The Spiderwick Chronicles in sheer buoyancy alone."

""CJ7" has some moments of sweetness and CGI inflected humor, but comes off as slight compared to the filmmaker's previous efforts."

"
CJ7
acknowledges the clichés, sometimes embracing and sometimes satirizing the conventional depictions of kids and adults in family films."
PopMatters
Cynthia Fuchs
A-
"If most Americans weren't so adverse to spending time with any film which has subtitles, Stephen Chow's "CJ7" just might have had a chance to become a perennial family favorite."

"Almost surrealistically bad...not only fails totally to delight but is even likely to creep you out."

Frank Swietek
5/10
"I like seeing directors try to branch out, but Chow's attempt just doesn't feel particularly well thought-out."

Jeffrey Chen

Nick Schager
C-
"You always want to like a critter from space comedy but sometimes you just can't.
CJ7
is one of those films."
