MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant
Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Jseneff1 My 5 year old picked this movie as our Friday night family movie. It seemed fun and cute! Boy was I wrong! The only thing funny and cute about this movie is the Chimps. About 5 minutes in you think this lady is Deranged!!!! And then there is a whole lip stick scene that just seems uncomfortable! I was afraid I was going to have to make a fast jump on the remote!And then when you finally think she may have gotten her stuff together you make the mistake of looking up the true story of this lady and realize she is the complete opposite of an activist for animals!!!!Don't watch this movie!!!
obscurifer I was lucky (?) enough to receive free tickets to Buddy during its opening week. I stood in a line with other people who were too cheap or too bright to spend money on this bomb.The question that came up in the movie most in my mind was, "Why?" Not, "Why did this woman try to raise a gorilla?" or, "Why did this woman dress chimpanzees in little outfits?" but rather, "Why was this movie released to the public?"If you want a rampaging gorilla movie, there's always any of the King Kong movies. If you want beautiful people, check out anything on MTV. If you want a fish out of water movie, check out any of thousands of other movies from roughly 1900 through today.
jamesyeo88 I LOVE THE MOVIE !!It is very good !!Love all the chimps and animals in it !!Rate it 8 out of 10 !!
geeno If you like animal antics, you'll like the chimps. A simple, charming coming-of-age plot. Some may feel the animals are exploited -- dressing and treating them as humans.
