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 Fetzer

 Nothing Scary--GREAT for Little ones December 24, 2008
If you are a parent, you know there's always that one part of the movie that is too scary, or has bad words, this movie has NONE of that. It's a perfect kids movie. No violence, no bad words, nothing scary. I LOVE this movie for my family. Great music, and a sweet story.
Love it! December 12, 2008
My son has watched this movie probably 100 times since we bought it. It's funny, and keeps the attention of a two year old! I think it is wonderful!
So great! November 12, 2008
My 2 year old son LOVES this movie(my husband and I do too). The colors and animation are fabulous and we just can't get enough of that cute little monkey! I highly recommend this to parents of toddlers on up.
Yes, 20 minues of heaven August 25, 2008
I got this movie because we would show the opening intro to our six month old on youtube and he loved it. This is a sweet simple story but is definitely not geared for adults or people who don't like Jack Johnson since he wrote the soundtrack. That being said, I'm a kid and heart and like Jack Johnson and my now seven month old will actually sit and watch this movie for a good 20 minutes on his own while I get housework done, I'm absolutely in love with the cute little movie. I highly recommend it to mothers with young children.
