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!

Apart from empowering monkeys in this film. it really entertaining. funny plot, nice acting. I knew these actors from lost in thailand. superb
Ning Hao is probably the best filmmaker of his generation, and this film Crazy Alien is solid in cinematography, editing, visual effects and score. Also, Shen Teng and Huang Bo are two of China's most talented actors. However, I have to say that the plot is thin and lacks credibility. The story is much worse than that of Crazy Stone or Crazy Racer.
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.
I thoroughly enjoyed this cinematic experience. I had the opportunity to view it twice and found myself in stitches each time. While the plot may not have been entirely unexpected, the humor was exceptionally well-crafted. While some viewers may not appreciate the nuances of the comedy, I found it to be highly amusing. I would rate this film a solid 10 out of 10.

- TriviaPeople 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.
