(CHEUNG GONG 7 HOU, Stephen Chow, Hong Kong 2008, 86 min., Cantonese/subtitles)

Stephen Chow, the writer-director-star behind the riotous Shaolin Soccer and Kung-Fu Hustle, returns with a hilarious comedy with a sci-fi twist. A poor father (Chow) finds what he thinks is a Furby-like toy dog and brings it home for his lonely son to play with. Soon, they both discover that their new critter pal is an alien, possessing otherworldly powers. Frantically funny and cartoon-like, Chow once again proves he is the master at mining comic possibilities from CGI technology.
