CJ7

The movie is about a young boy named Dicky (Jiao Xu) who lives in a squat area with his father, Ti (Stephen Chow), who works hard in a construction just to send young Dicky to an elite private school, where the boy is bullied by the other kids for his shabby wardrobe and unwashed appearance. Ti can’t afford to buy Dicky any expensive toys or new wardrobe so he goes to the best place he knows to get new stuff for Dicky–the junk yard. While checking out new junk stuff in the yard, Ti finds a mysterious orb and brings it home for Dicky to play with. To his surprise and disbelief, the orb reveals itself to Dicky as a bizarre “pet” with extraordinary powers. In school, Dicky abruptly named it as CJ7.

I like this movie. It’s funny and I actually cried.

Did you know that Jiao Xu is a 9-year-old girl cast as a boy? Yes, she is. She’s cute, funny and I love the acting.
