Curious George (2006) 8/10

Starring : Will Ferrell, Drew Barrymore, David Cross, Dick Van Dyke, Eugene Levy, Frank Welker
Director : Matthew O’Callaghan
Running Time : 88 mins

In an attempt to stop the museum he works in from closing down, Ted (Ferrell) travels to Africa looking for a long lost statue of a giant 40 foot monkey, but all he finds is a statue that’s barely 3 inches high. As he returns home with the bad news, a monkey (Welker) stows away on board his ship and starts to cause chaos in his everyday life.

A cute little tale with a good plot to go with it, this would no doubt keep children and adults alike amused for the duration. Ferrell does a fine job as Ted, not overplaying the role as he sometimes tends to, and George the monkey is cute, but not too cute, and keeps the movie light and fluffy without making it too sickly sweet.
