Description:
A 5-star hotel turns into a 3-ring circus when an orangutan named Duston checks in. Jason Alexander ('Seinfeld'), Faye Dunaway ('Network') and Eric Lloyd ('The Santa Clause') star in this hilarious romp about an orangutan who gets loose in the elegant Majestic Hotel on the eve of the social event of the season. Dodging his jewel-thieving owner and the frantic hotel manager, Dunston is befriended by the manager's ten-year old son, Kyle, who is determined to help his new friend escape. Filled with laughter and comic high-jinks, DUNSTON CHECKS IN is 'a steady stream of giggles for those who get a kick out of monkey business.' (Henry Sheehan, Orange County Register).
Amazon.com:
High society gets a dose of monkey business in this family-friendly bit of simian slapstick. Less foul and more fun than Clyde from the Clint Eastwood comedies, Dunston is the practical-joking orangutan partner of foppish jewel thief Rupert Everett. Making his escape in a five-star New York hotel, Dunston lands in the protective care of 10-year-old Eric Lloyd, the high-spirited son of harried hotel manager Jason Alexander, and together they turn the snooty social event of the year into a zoo. Faye Dunaway is Alexander's overbearing boss just aching for a comic comeuppance, and Paul 'Pee-wee Herman' Reubens dons a mauve tuxedo as Buck La Farge, animal-control specialist. Would you believe the monkey upstages them all? Though hardly the smartest comedy around, this is a cute, cuddly little barrel full of monkeyshines just made for the younger crowd. Rated PG for one (yelled) word. --Sean Axmaker

Very Fun Movie, Cute boys and an orangutan have a special bond.
Full of laughs and a sweet bond with their father.
Rating: - Dunston is a hit for all ages!
My 10 yr old son has this movie & absolutely loved it, so I purchased it for my friend's children for Christmas. They loved it too! My friend was glad to get a movie the whole family could enjoy.
Rating: - I know it's for kids but...
I was suprised that I actually liked this. Ape Dunston! It is warm, fun, and slightly zany, and seems not to take itself too seriously which is a good thing to me.
Oh, and "Lord Rutledge" that is a great freakin' name!

My grandchildren love this movie. There is one word that is said that I'm not pleased about being in it but it was subject for discussion about what is appropriate language. The laughter resounds through the house when we watch this movie.
