 | Usually I don't make such crappy reviews, but Jennifer Bassey's massage towel scene was so show stealing and sexy, I had to be biased! Wish I were the one touching her delicious body at the time. |

| When young Eric (Kyle Grant) befriends an orangutan named Dunston (played by Sam) in a luxury lodge, he soon learns that the ape has been trained to perform acts of larceny throughout the 4-star hotel and the mystery of who owns him unfolds. The manager (Jason Alexander) is under scrutiny to gain a coveted 5th star when Dunston checks in, and everything goes upside down thanks to the sticky-fingered orange-furred "guest". Look for lots of broad comic shenanigans with Faye Dunaway as the rich-bitch hotel owner, and Rupert Everett as the cane-wielding, buck-toothed Lord Rutledge.

| I like this movie very much. My favorite thing in the whole movie is Paul Reubens as Buck LaFarge, the animal control man. It is a childrens movie, but overall well acted and funny. Jason Alexander, Faye Dunnaway, and Rupert Everet are also very good. |

| "Dunston Checks In" is great family fun. The plot involves a chimp who wreaks havoc in a five-star Manhattan Hotel and befriends the manager's young sons in the process. Warm-hearted, funny, and quite entertaining for ages 4 and up. The chimp and his antics are adorable and the acting is quite good, featuring performances by Jason Alexander (as the hotel manager), Faye Dunaway (as a Leona Helmsley-like hotel owner), Rupert Everett (as Dunston's owner), and Pee-Wee Herman. |
