Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense

Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Kirpianuscus it seems be the film for animals lovers. and only for theme. because , against the premise than it reflects real facts, the story is far to be interesting or plausible, the end too sweet and Rene Russo in a role for she has a huge effort to do coherent. sure, the eccentric rich people stories are a good subject but it is not comfortable to answer yourself why the director has need by Rene Russo, Robbie Coltrane or Alan Cumming for his film. a noble message like this could be better with not great actors. the only good point - the performance of Irma P. Hall. short, a film with very precise target. only a fan of animals can ignore the errors of logic and the too obvious message and could discover the purpose of film, out of a sentimental story about incompatibility between different species.

Jseneff1 My 5 year old picked this movie as our Friday night family movie. It seemed fun and cute! Boy was I wrong! The only thing funny and cute about this movie is the Chimps. About 5 minutes in you think this lady is Deranged!!!! And then there is a whole lip stick scene that just seems uncomfortable! I was afraid I was going to have to make a fast jump on the remote!And then when you finally think she may have gotten her stuff together you make the mistake of looking up the true story of this lady and realize she is the complete opposite of an activist for animals!!!!Don't watch this movie!!!

martin_mix Get your movie off me you damned dirty ape! Sorry to see the chimps exploited in the movie and I wonder where those chimps are now. That being said, the movie was sappy and disappointing. The costuming was great but the movie over all just feels meandering and pointless. There is almost a point where Russo's character realizes that she's abused this animal by having it live like a human but then she misses the realization in favor of the belief that she's somehow still in control of Buddy the gorilla. Would have made a decent Fatal Attractions episode but not a good full length feature film. Go see Chimpanzee instead.

moviewavs I was waiting for it to be over. There were a few scenes that evoked emotion but soon fell flat. It had a few moments that were a little funny. That, that's all I have to say about that.
