The Worst Film Ever
If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
Good movie but grossly overrated
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Easily Hayao Miyazaki's finest work. It tackles such hard-hitting questions, such as drug addiction and seal clubbing, but does it in a completely respectful manner. The Animation is glorious, reaching such detail captured in other glorious pieces of Japanese Animation, such as Seinfeld and Cory in the House. You can see practically every hair on Dunston! The story is a little lacking, but it is still a wonderful piece of work. I can only give it a 9, since it made a very costly gamble by trying to roast Shrek and doing it rather poorly. However, this does not distract from the rest of this absolute masterpiece of a film. RIP Hayao, 1941 - 3. You will be missed, and your work will be appreciated for all time!
The film is simple, a bit humorous with no great performances. It is plagued by plot holes and inane dialog. The movie itself is nothing that special, but it has some good stuff. It is a pretty unnecessary film. If you are looking for a good movie with decent acting this might not be for you. While this isn't a great film by any means, it is entertaining. It is difficult to watch and has no shortage of abuse and neglect. If you love silly, this should be a rewarding experience for you. Granted, most supporting characters were one-dimensional. There's something very nostalgic about it. I urge you to see it with an open mind. It will either surprise or disappoint you, depending on what your expectations are.
I have seen this movie it was a great movie. Sam as Dunston the orangutan was very cute. Jason Alexander as Robert Grant was very good at this film. Eric Loyd as Kyle Grant was very nice in this film. Paul Rebuns (pee wee) as Buck LaFarge was funny. Faye Dunaway as Mrs, Dubrow was very beautiful. Whats sad that Dunston has a piece of glass on his hand. Dunston was scared about his hand. Whats terrible that Dunston does not have Samson anymore. Jennifer Bassey as Mrs. Dellacroce was very nice. Glenn Shadix as Lionel Spalding is funny. Rupert Everett as Lord Rutledge was very interesting That movie is funny, cute, and great you will like this movie so does Dunston the orangutan.
i thought this movie was fair, even though many people did not enjoy this movie too much. i love the scene with Jason alexander, and paul reubens as la farge and glenn shadix having this silly conversation together. i thought it was so silly, when Eric Lloyd had a pet monkey.
