Chimpanzee Review

                                        Chimpanzee is a film about Oscar. The trailers make it look like it's a film about Oscar and Freddy. It is not. That part of the film does not happen until the last twenty minutes of the film. If you've stopped reading after this due to the fact that you no longer have interest in the film...I don't blame you.

                                        Chimpanzee is a film that is so boring that within the first 15 minutes..my eyes started to feel like being gouged out. Fortunately, due to the fact that they mislead me in the advertising..I didn't have to because I was waiting and waiting for the film to be emotional. The last twenty minutes are somewhat emotional..but not enough to save the film. The film is narrated by Tim Allen..who, despite being decent in a very few films...is not a good actor. Allen's show, Last Man Standing is one of the worst I've ever seen. Allen proves here that he is not a good narrator, either. His narration could be compared to that of frat boys who love each other, but have no real other friends. Allen obviously thinks that he is doing a fine job, but the audience begs to differ.

                                      The film also doesn't really go anywhere. We see Oscar's day to day life, but we never get any excitement. Even Scar-the villainous chimpanzee of the film is not exciting. Sure Scar is an evil guy who chases after Oscar's family, but he is not all that scary nor threatening. This may be due to the fact that the film is rated G..so they have to keep it family oriented. If they just rated it PG- it probably would have been a bit more exciting.

                                       Chimpanzee is boring, but not particularly terrible. It fails on almost all levels-but I respect its appropriate nature, but that only made it all the more disappointing. I would recommend the film to little kids, but not to anyone else.
(1 out of 5 Stars, The film is rated G, and contains nothing offensive)
