Movie Reviews of Curious George (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: Refreshingly innocent
Summary: 5 Stars
Love how innocent this movie is. There isn't anything that I worry about being inappropriate like with some other "kid" movies. And I think the animation is really nice as well, with rich, bright colors. The soundtrack is nice and mellow (great until you've heard it a few hundred times in a row).
Summary of Curious George (Widescreen Edition)
A wild collection of hip actors--from Will Ferrell to Drew Barrymore to David Cross--provide voices for Curious George, based on the classic, gentle children's books. Ted (voiced by Ferrell, Elf) works at a natural history museum that's fallen on hard times. The museum director's son (Cross, Arrested Development) wants to turn it into a parking lot, but Ted offers to bring back a mysterious idol from Africa that's guaranteed to pull in crowds. Unfortunately, the idol turns out to be three inches tall. But Ted (who, before he heads on safari, gets outfitted in head-to-toe yellow, transforming him into the beloved Man in the Yellow Hat from the books) accidentally brings back a lonely yet irrepressible monkey, soon dubbed George. In no time at all George gets into all kinds of mischief--painting an apartment, soaring aloft with a bunch of helium-filled balloons, climbing on a dinosaur skeleton, and generally getting Ted into hot water. Older fans of the books will probably wince at the formulaic save-the-museum storyline, as well as at the obligatory love interest (Barrymore, Charlie's Angels) whose role is utterly passive. Jack Johnson's songs are so bland you can't remember the melodies even as you're listening to them, and the animation (an odd but not ineffective blend of two-dimensional drawing and CGI) has grossly cutified the book's illustrations, eroding their origina charm (the contrast is made sadly clear by a montage of the original drawings over the closing credits). But the basic relationship between man and monkey remains sweet, and younger kids will delight in George's innocent troublemaking. --Bret FetzerUniversal Pictures and Imagine Entertainment bring CURIOUS GEORGE the original "monkey see monkey do" chimp to the screen in an all-new animated adventure based upon the beloved tales that have been enchanting readers for more than 60 years.The Film Boasts an All-Star Cast including Will Ferrell Drew Barrymore Eugene Levy Dick Van Dyke David Cross and Joan Plowright!This Little Monkey is a Big Brand! 97% Awareness with Moms!System Requirements:Running Time: 88 MinutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: CHILDREN/FAMILY Rating: G UPC: 025192615924 Manufacturer No: 61026159
