Jesus, what a good dog!

A perfect Easter Sunday movie, Hong Kong director Stephen Chow's unabashed tribute to his hero Steven Spielberg's film about a Christlike visitor from another planet. But this ET has paws of clay, his Elliot has a bit of an attitude on him, and those of us not blessed with a Chinese frame of mind rarely have the slightest idea where the film is going next. And is it just me, or is the eight-year-old Hong Kong kid who plays Dicky's love interest a dead ringer for Cyndi Lauper?

Not as good as Chow's Shaolin Soccer, but then what is?
