Puppy Lovenew
If CJ7 is a mild disappointment artistically, with neither a cohesive style nor focused plot, it is also a sweet and purposeful tale that genuinely defies categorization.

'CJ7': In the Mood for Fluffnew
What saves CJ7 is partly the cuteness of the critter itself, but mostly it's the kids -- all of the students, from an aviators-wearing bully to Dicky's mischievous crush, have personality, and Dicky himself is a delight.

Kung Fu Hustle Kicks Genre Into Whole New Realmnew
Kung Fu Hustle isn't just a goofy, gravity-defying combo of two-fisted action flick and anything-for-a-laugh parody. It feels like the latest volley in a globe-spanning table tennis match between American and Hong Kong filmmakers.
