Garfield Garfieldberg oh my good god, Ron Jeremy you've done it again! You've delivered on making me laugh, cry and drop loads in my trousers once more! First off, the fact that Marlon Brando and Dunston reunite as well as Jimmy Saville playing Pee Wee Herman playing the hunter is stellar. it may not be as good as Garfield, a Tale of Two Kitties but I honestly believe that this movie ooh oo0 ah AOL ooh ah oho ooh eh ah-ooh ooh ah ah-ooh ooh ah oho ooh ah O ooh ah ah ooh eh Ho ooh ah ah ooh ah ah excuse me, I just reverted back to my orangutan state, you see I am actually an anthropomorphic monkey that can sometimes speak perfect eng- ooh- excuse me! Anyway, this movie is really good but it's not MVP: Most Vertical Primate. Obogo the Orangutan out ))=====D~~~ ROCKET SHIP
cheesycat-84281 Easily Hayao Miyazaki's finest work. It tackles such hard-hitting questions, such as drug addiction and seal clubbing, but does it in a completely respectful manner. The Animation is glorious, reaching such detail captured in other glorious pieces of Japanese Animation, such as Seinfeld and Cory in the House. You can see practically every hair on Dunston! The story is a little lacking, but it is still a wonderful piece of work. I can only give it a 9, since it made a very costly gamble by trying to roast Shrek and doing it rather poorly. However, this does not distract from the rest of this absolute masterpiece of a film. RIP Hayao, 1941 - 3. You will be missed, and your work will be appreciated for all time!
samcracc I have seen this movie it was a great movie. Sam as Dunston the orangutan was very cute. Jason Alexander as Robert Grant was very good at this film. Eric Loyd as Kyle Grant was very nice in this film. Paul Rebuns (pee wee) as Buck LaFarge was funny. Faye Dunaway as Mrs, Dubrow was very beautiful. Whats sad that Dunston has a piece of glass on his hand. Dunston was scared about his hand. Whats terrible that Dunston does not have Samson anymore. Jennifer Bassey as Mrs. Dellacroce was very nice. Glenn Shadix as Lionel Spalding is funny. Rupert Everett as Lord Rutledge was very interesting That movie is funny, cute, and great you will like this movie so does Dunston the orangutan.
Colony I give this movie a seven because I think kids would really like it. When I first saw it in theaters, at the age of nine, I loved it, as did my younger brother.I haven't seen it in years, but I do remember some great moments. The best one is Paul Reubens as an animal control official, who chases Dunston the Orangutan into a greenhouse. He fires his gun off and startles two old ladies sitting in an office, who then see him out a window looking into the greenhouse. For a few seconds the two ladies stare at him and he stares back. It's funny. The one kids will remember most will probably be Dunston jumping on Faye Dunaway and she falls backwards into a giant cake. Paul Reubens is definitely a highlight in this movie.Like I said, I haven't seen the movie in years, and I imagine I would feel differently about it now. When I was a kid I didn't know that Faye Dunaway was a movie legend. Now that I've seen Bonnie and Clyde, Chinatown, and Network, it might be a little weird seeing her in this role.So I feel that the kids and the kid-like will enjoy this movie. The older people, probably not so much.
