Curious George
The man with the yellow hat named Ted Shackleford works at a natural history museum that's fallen on hard times. The museum director's son wants to turn it into a parking lot, but Ted offers to bring back a mysterious idol from Africa that's guaranteed to pull in crowds. Unfortunately, the idol turns out to be three inches tall. But Ted accidentally brings back a lonely yet irrepressible monkey, soon dubbed George. They set off on a non-stop action, fun-filled journey through the wonders of the big city toward the warmth of true friendship.

A decent distraction for the young ones, it also seems content to be merely that.

It's good old-fashioned family entertainment.

Director Matthew O'Callaghan and screenwriter Ken Kaufman haven't tried to create a film that's hip, just one that's funny and sweet, and in that sense they've succeeded.

Sure, it's a film for the toddlers, but that doesn't mean the adults can't find something good from it.

The welcome absence of strained cleverness qualifies as one of its biggest virtues.

This harmless but charmless caper will have everybody except the most undemanding tot fidgeting.

Curious George is probably the purest family movie in years.

George's character has been intensely cutesified here, with little of the subversive edge which remains the secret of his lasting appeal.

George is just so darn cute with his big eyes and bright smile and perpetually sunny disposition, he's pretty much impossible to resist.

It's a gentle, unhurried, largely hand-drawn children's cartoon with a nice simple storyline and no nods and winks to the grown-ups.

It's nice to have something this sincere and comforting out in the world.

Gentle enough to satisfy the wee ones but has little to offer their adult companions...
