At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

"Curious George" is definitely one of the best (and cutest) animated film in this decade. Not only it is very friendly, but kids and adults can truly feel good while and after watching it.Every character is lovable in the film and nobody's a villain (with the exception of Bloomsberry Junior). The animation is smooth and pleasing to the eyes. The soundtrack also appeals to all ages, which is important but often neglected since a lot of songs used in kiddie films are either pseudo-cool ("Pokemon" theme songs) or unappealing to the targeted generation (Lindsay Lohan's "The Parent Trap"). The story is cute and very engaging, minus the crass humor. Lastly, George is so lovable that you really want to cuddle him.If you want a rent a good, child-friendly movie for your kid, this is definitely a safe choice. Your kid will get hooked, and so are you.

The "Curious George" books were never my first choice for reading, even as a kid, but they were my wife's favourites, and so we rented this for our 3 year old daughter. It's a kids movie, and she watched it all the way through and her attention didn't seem to wander much, so I have to rate this as a success.The story was updated pretty well to the 21st century (for example, cell phones) and the story was fun to follow and solved at least one of the things I didn't like about the original stories. My memory is that back then, George was captured by the man in the yellow hat (voiced in this movie by Will Ferrell) and brought back to a zoo, where the man tells him he'll be so much happier. This story is a little more eco-friendly. George likes Ted (the name of the man in the yellow hat) and follows him back without his knowledge. I still have a bit of trouble with the monkey wanting to leave the jungle to become a pet, but, hey, it's a kiddie movie, right? In a couple of ways, the movie is too formulaic. There's the apparently requisite romance, for example, between Ted and Maggie (Drew Barrymore.) Would kids really care? And, of course, there has to be the evil character, in the form of Junior (David Cross), whose father Mr. Bloomsberry (Dick Van Dyke) owns the museum Ted works at, and who sets out to close it to build a parking lot.Having said that, the movie worked (especially for the target audience.) I got worried at one point because it seemed as though the solution for saving the museum was going to be built on a lie (what kind of message would that have been for kiddies?) but finally the lie is abandoned (interestingly enough it's evil Junior who points out that lying would be wrong - although he does it for his own evil purposes!) It's a lot of fun and has some great animation; worth renting for the kids, or if you have unsatisfied longings to return to your childhood. 7/10

We saw this Curious George movie today as part of Regal's Free Family Film Festival. www.regalcinemas.com/freefamilyflicks/ I totally agree with the previous comment. It is a film for kids and the kids loved it. It held their attention for the full length of the film. While there was nothing that I recall that was over their head and directed towards adults like in Shrek, it was pleasantly entertaining nonetheless.It was certainly with the price of the movie (free) and the popcorn. My 4 year old cried when it was over because she wanted to see it again. My 22 month old actually paid attention for almost an hour and then he got antsy so we stood at the wall. Not the movie's fault.It is a simple, cute movie that you can safely take children of any age to without worrying about content.Now I must search for a copy of this movie to buy for home for my daughter!
