| Sin MagazineAustin KennedyNow, I LOVE bad movies. But this is so bad, that it can't even be good in a "so bad it's good" way. It's just plain bad |
| User ReviewStormyI'm watching this movie currently 10/9/07, at 6:50pm, on mute (problems?) and every single moment is glaringly glorious. |
| User ReviewPeter P"I went bananas, when I found this vintage, classic." Going Ape, is hysterically funny and definately one for your movie collection, if you can find it. Thumbs up!!! |
| User ReviewDanny RHot on the heels of the seminal orangutan comedy "Every Which Way But Loose" comes this Tony Danza/Danny Devito orangutan comedy that ups the ante with three orangutans! Lowbrow does not begin to describe the comedy in this film. "Every Which Way But Loose" is Shakespeare compared to this. Still, I'm quite partial to monkey/ape oriented comedy, so I probably enjoyed this than most viewers. And if you're curious, writer/director Jeremy Joe Kronsberg is actually the screenwriter behind "Every Which Way But Loose," his only other screenwriting credit. |
| User ReviewWeston Hthis is one of those movies where I wish I could have seen it when it came out in theaters, just so i could look at the person next to me when the movie was over and ask "did that really happen?" |
| User ReviewShawn WTony Danza is bequested 3 apes in his uncle's will and will inherit $5 million if he keeps them alive for two years. Full of predictable slapstick that passed as comedy in the 70's. As bad as Who's The Boss but at least Danny Pintauro is absent. |
| User ReviewMichael WTwo Taxi co-stars play straight men against three orangutangs. Mostly embarrassing gags such as breaking furniture and throwing food. I kept hoping Danza would ditch his indignant girlfriend and start anew with the $5 mil inheritance. |
