Summary:

Co-Writer/Director Stephen Chow (Kung Fu Hustle, Shaolin Soccer) stars as Ti, a poor but loving father who works such long hours that he barely has any time to spend with his young son. Unable to afford the latest toy his boy desperately wants, Ti instead brings home a mysterious "pet" he finds at a local junkyard. When the cuddly creature turns out to be a fun-loving extraterrestrial able to perform miraculous deeds, both father and son are about to learn some important lessons that change their lives in this delightful science-fiction fantasy for the whole family.
