| User ReviewKelly HExcellent movie. Some chimp nudity, if that's your thing. |
| User ReviewBrian SDirector Robert Vince has done it again! It's all been building to this! Extreme (or Xtreme) sports have been popular in the last few years. Monkeys have been popular for the past few centuries! Pair them together, and you have the perfect sports movies for kids. Lovable Jack has been ousted from his hockey team, the Seattle Simians, but he doesn't get down, he gets UP, vertical that is. This is one you'll want to own, not rent, because you and your kids can watch it again and again. How do they make that monkey do all those sports?? Movie magic at its finest. Richard Karn is particularly a treat to watch in this one - some of his finest work. Keep the MVP movies coming! Bravo! |
| User ReviewPrivate UI found this film for sale in a British airport for a pound and was compelled to buy it after reading about the monkey in a skateboarding magazine. Though extremely B grade, this film combines two things I really dig in this world, skateboarding and monkeys wearing clothes and doing stuff. The dialog is appalling but I was seriously laughing the whole way through at that apes antics. The best thing is how despite everyone being aware that 'Jack' is in fact a chimp, they still talk to him and treat him as if he's human eg being allowed to play on an ice hockey team. Classic! If that isn't enough there's a cameo from pro skater Bob Burnquist that demonstrates his lack of acting skills but possession of awesome skating skills. If you like monkeys and/or skateboarding, even just a little bit, you'll love this movie! "You're crazy, Jack". |
| User ReviewMaureen AA Katie and Mo Favorite pick! Appreciate Richard Karn's relevance as ultra cool skate shop owner Olly. How could he not be hip with those highlights?! Also starring the Jimmy Crack Corl old man from Pee Wee's Big Adventure, and a hockey goalie with a septum ring. |
| User ReviewRobert PBest movie about a skateboarding chimp EVER!!!! |
| User ReviewTristan BSérieux ne riez pas...C'est un film enlevant, avec des comédiens de talent. � regarder en groupe, avec une bonne bière et bien plus :) Y'a plusieurs bon gag :D Je le conseille à tous ceux qui ont un bon sens de l'humour :) |
| User ReviewAtis AThis get an extra star, just cause the monkey skateboards. And to the people who are concerned that it is not "a great work of art" Chill out a little !!! Of course it's not art - it's a monkey skateboarding for fuck's sakes !!! |
| User ReviewTrinity CSURPRISINGLY, EVERY BIT AS GOOD AS THE ORIGINAL, SOME GREAT HOCKEY PLAYING AND AWESOME SKATEBOARDING. THESE CHIMPANZEE'S ARE AMAZING. GREAT FUN AND VERY ENTERTAINING |
| User ReviewSteve HHe did get some rad air, but hockey is better! |
| User ReviewDon SThe original was much better, though my children liked both about equally. This one didn't really give me the "warm fuzzies" I got with the first one. Something about the homeless child did not click with me. My son really loved both the hockey sequences and the skateboarding ones. |
