A young girl secretly adopts a runaway monkey only to have to deal with the simian's mischief-making tendencies in this family comedy. Young Eva (Thora Birch)'s dreams of having a pet are frustrated by the objections of her mother (Mimi Rogers) and allergic stepfather (Christopher McDonald). When she finds a stray capuchin monkey, she cannot resist it, and she keeps the animal -- which she names Dodger -- hidden in her room. Eva doesn't know that Dodger has just escaped from an evil organ

Great family fun....Birch is a joy

Above average kids movie. The girl is smart and the monkey is clever. Harvey Keitel's villain is a big surprise.
The team of Thora Birch and Finster the primate makes for light and moderately fun family viewing.
Another animal and kid movie, just as stupid as the rest, but it'll entertain the kids.
