Movie Reviews of Dunston Checks In
Movie Review: A Pleasant Surprise, Especially Dunaway
Summary: 4 Stars
This was surprisingly entertaining and with a few minor exceptions, very inoffensive family fare. It's another one of those adults-and-kids-can-both-enjoy flicks with a number of lines that border on being too much for kids but are still tame for adults - close, but safe. There are also some funny special effects and some good slapstick humor.
Being basically a kids' film, the main child, played by Eric Lloyd is cute but a little too spoiled for me but he's tolerable, as is his brother. Jason Alexander is the father, a very likable subdued guy but a little too lenient.
The real surprise in this cast is Faye Dunaway. Usually playing hard-edged types, she is the opposite in here which is kind of refreshing to see. She shows a nice comedic touch. The chimpanzee is probably the most entertaining, which is the idea, but so is the villain played by Rupert Evert. In other words, there are a lot of likable characters in this movie.
This a "sleeper:" an underrated film that a lot of people would enjoy. I'm sorry it never got much "press."
Movie Review: Old movie brought back memories...
Summary: 3 Stars
this movie was as funny as i remember it form my childhood with my sister...a little silly...but a real sweet movie to cuddle on the coach on a sick day and watch..great for kids too....wouldn't recommended for real young children.Movie Review: Now this is just Retarded
Summary: 1 Stars
This movie must have been directed by someone with down syndrome. This is the stupidist premise for a movie that I have ever seen. What is the next film going to be, "dunston takes a dump at the white house."
