I have a major soft spot for this film since I watched it so much growing up. The characters are wild and exaggerated and a lot of the film's successful humor come from Paul Reubens' snaky animal hunter and Jason Alexander's pompous hotel guest. |

I loved this movie when I was younger...one of those go-to movies if I was bored. However, there was little turnover when I started appreciating more mature fare. The comedy in it is both adult and childish, with the childish far outweighing the mature. It is watchable now as an adult, but little more than that. A possible go-to movie for when I have kids of my own. |

A little boy who lives in a luxurious hotel has no friends and lives a lonely life with his father Robert Grant (Jason Alexander’s "Seinfeld" who is the manager of The Majestic, a large five-star hotel) and brother until a lovable orangutan walks in one day and becomes his new best buddy.
Grant is overworked and wants to take his two boys, on a vacation, but when the owner (Faye Dunnaway) hears that her hotel is being considered for a six star rating, it falls on Grant to ensure that everything is perfect when the rating staff arrives. It's fun to see Faye Dunaway in a comic role. Paul Reubens (Pee-wee Herman) is the crazed animal control official while Rupert Everett plays the snobbish and villainous Lord Rutledge intend on stealing the guests' jewelry. Monkey mayhem ensues and ther... |
