    Apart from empowering monkeys in this film. it really entertaining. funny plot, nice acting. I knew these actors from lost in thailand. superb

    but the laughter is not good enough

    In the effort to make fun, but the laughter is not good enough. The distorted images of aliens and monkeys in the film seem to be trying to say something deeper, but they are too deep.

    This is a lovely movie

    This is a lovely movie. Don't be too strict. Who knows if the humorous style of this movie is the next one wulitou style. Ning Hao is a smart director who understands the tastes of the most ordinary Chinese audience. It's interesting, but it doesn't give up the plot. Not forgetting to salute the classic movies, not forgetting to satirize the society

    Pretty Funny - Similar to Crazy Stone and Crazy (Bicycle) Race

    I found Crazy Stone to be pretty funny and Crazy Bicycle Race to be hilarious. This was somewhere between the two.

    If you go to watch it expecting a bit of ridiculousness and fun, you'll get what you expected. There's some decent witty humour hidden here and there throughout and a double dose of visual and other more obvious humour.

    A highlight that will often be overlooked is how a few key features played double-work in plot development and humour. In particular: * The special effects used with the alien character make it seem quite natural (not cartoon-ish nor 'Dr Who' costume-ish, but realistic) and importantly its human-like facial features are central to plot and laughter. * Similarly, the location, a theme park of famous monuments and buildings from all around the world, is central to plot and laughter.

    Expect to feel sympathetic both for the alien and the pair of guys stuck with him, because both are going to suffer hilariously!

    It was a good movie, but it lacked a bit more laughs and comedy...

    "Feng kuang de wai xing ren" (aka "Crazy Alien") was a movie that somewhat snuck in under the radar. I was given the chance to watch it, and given my interest and fascination with Asian movies, of course I jumped at the chance.

    While "Crazy Alien" definitely is entertaining and enjoyable, the laughs were unfortunately few and far in between. It was a shame, because the movie had all the ingredients to be something fantastic and hilarious, but it ultimately fell through when it mattered the most. As such, the movie will not become a classic, nor will it be a movie that you'll watch more than once. Now, don't get me wrong, because "Crazy Alien" is not a bad movie, far from it. It just lacked more comedy situations to make the audience laugh.

    The acting in the movie was good, and they did have a good ensemble of acting talents to perform in the movie. Bo Huang and Zheng Xu were carrying the movie quite well with their performances. However, it was the CGI animated alien and the monkey that stole the show, no doubt about it.

    The story was good and it was easy to follow. You quickly get immersed into the storyline and there is a good pacing to the story, that is for certain.

    As for the CGI, well that was good, definitely good. The CGI animated alien and monkey were great and looked realistic for the most parts actually. And that definitely added some great enjoyment to the movie.

    "Crazy Alien" is a movie well worth watching, but it is hardly a movie that you watch more than once.

    • Trivia
      People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) released a video by an on-set whistleblower on March 19, 2018, which showed the dog in a cage being lifted by a crane, and thrown into a waterway multiple times. But later it was shown that the video was deliberately edited to mislead the viewer thinking it was an animal abuse. After the PETA video event, director Ning Hao decided to delete that scene from the final film to show the respect, that dog on the set was later adopted by Ning Hao himself.
