Very Fun Movie, Cute boys and an orangutan have a special bond.
Full of laughs and a sweet bond with their father.

My 10 yr old son has this movie & absolutely loved it, so I purchased it for my friend's children for Christmas. They loved it too! My friend was glad to get a movie the whole family could enjoy.

I was suprised that I actually liked this. Ape Dunston! It is warm, fun, and slightly zany, and seems not to take itself too seriously which is a good thing to me.
Oh, and "Lord Rutledge" that is a great freakin' name!
August 4, 2007My grandchildren love this movie. There is one word that is said that I'm not pleased about being in it but it was subject for discussion about what is appropriate language. The laughter resounds through the house when we watch this movie.
July 19, 2007This is a hilarious "monkey movie" starring Dunston, a misguided orangutan who has been coopted into a life of crime in a big-city hotel, managed by Jason Alexander, and owned by Faye Dunaway. Chaos ensues. Viewers between the ages of 4-94 will be unable to keep a straight face, and one of the movie's attributes is that it does appeal both to children and adults. Younger viewers can identify with Jason Alexander's two sons who live in the hotel their father manages and who first discover Dunston's identity. Adult viewers can identify with the travails of the hotel manager as he attempts to keep chaos from triumphing during the hotel's biggest party of the year, during which of course the finicky owner and an "undercover" hotel inspector are also checking for dust. Dust? There is plenty of it raised in this enjoyable movie.
