Summary: Great movie for the family.
Review: My little 4 year old grand daughter and I watched it together. We just laughed and laughed. It's charming, sweet, and so funny both for children and adults! We saw it on the family channel and the next day I bought it! A really superb family movie. I hope we see many more Dunston movies!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Good movie for kids with short attention spans.
Review: My three-yr. old watches this movie over & over. He enjoys the fast pace of the movie and laughs heartily at Dunston's antics. Except for one scene where the dad, Jason Alexander uses profanity, this is good entertainment for kids of all ages.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Strictly for the Kiddies
Review: This was the pits! They should have gotten rid of that dump ape, the kid, and Jason Alexander and simply had a drama about Faye Dunaway running a hotel. I saw it because she was in it, and she was hardly in it! Strictly for the kiddies!!!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Unless you're 7, you might want to check out
Review: When young Eric (Kyle Grant) befriends an orangutan named Dunston (played by Sam) in a luxury lodge, he soon learns that the ape has been trained to perform acts of larceny throughout the 4-star hotel and the mystery of who owns him unfolds. The manager (Jason Alexander) is under scrutiny to gain a coveted 5th star when Dunston checks in, and everything goes upside down thanks to the sticky-fingered orange-furred "guest". Look for lots of broad comic shenanigans with Faye Dunaway as the rich-bitch hotel owner, and Rupert Everett as the cane-wielding, buck-toothed Lord Rutledge.

Summary: A fun movie
Review: You might expect "Dunston Checks In" to be a kiddy or cutesy show, and in a way it is, but it can also be a good family movie for anybody who likes comedies. A manager of a 5-star hotel in New York, Mr. Grant (Jason Alexander), has a great job, but he has to watch every step he takes because if he makes one mistake in the eyes of the owner, Mrs. Dubrow (Faye Dunaway), he could lose his high paying job and go from living in a 5-star hotel to something not so nice. Mr. Grant has two kids to raise, but things just might go haywire when an orangutan starts hanging out at the hotel.

But not to fret, not only is the orangutan named Dunston real smart, he can also make simple things hilarious. "Dunston Checks In" isn't a groundbreaking comedy and it's not that original, but it is fun to watch, and it can be funny. I recommend anybody who likes comedies that feature an animal as the main star to at least rent "Dunston Checks In," if not buying it.

Rating: 4 stars
