Audience Reviews for MVP: Most Valuable Primate

Aug 16, 2011

It's a movie that follows the same formula that Air Bud followed: animal inexplicably becomes excellent at sports, so they let him play. It's shit, and it's not even original shit.

This family movie with a chimpanzee is so funny and surprised to see a deaf girl appear to use her sign languages who befriends a chimp to communicate each other. But sometimes it looks ridiculous with lots of mistake in the scenes between a girl and chimp while they are acting. In the ice-hockey game that gives me good memory since one of my best and favourite family movie, <i>The Mighty Ducks</i>.

A good family movie. I have to say that this is one of the strangest movie I have ever seen. The cover really does not convey the retina burning weirdness that is MVP.
