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

 WONDERFUL July 1, 2009
fairytoes (Denver, CO)
Curious George is the best kids movie it's on the kids humor level it's not geared towards adults like Disney flicks. The movie does say stupid which I don't like but I hope my kids won't catch it. I believe it says it 2 times, or maybe it's idiot. It's one of those two. All in all great movie with a great soundtrack which my girls fall asleep to every night.
Gotta love Curious George June 15, 2009
Kelly Southworth (Woodstock, GA)
We got an awesome deal on this movie through Amazon. Way cheaper than buying it at the store and they had the option to buy the full screen edition which is nice because we don't have a widescreen TV. My daughter is 3 1/2 and absolutely loves this movie. She's already watched the movie so much that I might be buying another one before you know it!! My husband and I love it too...it's a good laugh!
Great kids movie May 22, 2009
J. Elias (West Bloomfield, MI United States)
This is a great movie for little kids. Keeps them occupied and interest and no violence! The Jack Johnson music is very nice and relaxing.
My Grandaughter's delight ! March 19, 2009

I received the item in a timely manner. It was a Christmas gift for my great-nephew and I didn't personally read or watch it.
