Editorial Review:

High society gets a dose of monkey business in this family-friendly bit of simian slapstick. Less foul and more fun than Clyde from the Clint Eastwood comedies, Dunston is the practical-joking orangutan partner of foppish jewel thief Rupert Everett. Making his escape in a five-star New York hotel, Dunston lands in the protective care of 10-year-old Eric Lloyd, the high-spirited son of harried hotel manager Jason Alexander, and together they turn the snooty social event of the year into a zoo. Faye Dunaway is Alexander's overbearing boss just aching for a comic comeuppance, and Paul "Pee-wee Herman" Reubens dons a mauve tuxedo as Buck La Farge, animal-control specialist. Would you believe the monkey upstages them all? Though hardly the smartest comedy around, this is a cute, cuddly little barrel full of monkeyshines just made for the younger crowd. Rated PG for one (yelled) word. --Sean Axmaker
Description
A 5-star hotel turns into a 3-ring circus when an orangutan named Duston checks in. Jason Alexander ("Seinfeld"), Faye Dunaway ("Network") and Eric Lloyd ("The Santa Clause") star in this hilarious romp about an orangutan who gets loose in the elegant Majestic Hotel on the eve of the social event of the season. Dodging his jewel-thieving owner and the frantic hotel manager, Dunston is befriended by the manager's ten-year old son, Kyle, who is determined to help his new friend escape. Filled with laughter and comic high-jinks, DUNSTON CHECKS IN is "a steady stream of giggles for those who get a kick out of monkey business." (Henry Sheehan, Orange County Register).

5 out of 5 stars perfect grandparent and grandchildren movie.......2007-04-27

My grandsons really enjoyed watching Dunston, many times, in parts and in its entirety. We had so much fun together enjoying the antics of Dunston and the other silliness. The best part is that although it is a kid movie, it is really fun for the adults too. I am replacing our damaged VHS tape with a DVD, so they can continue to have it as a choice in their entertainment library.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing.......2005-09-24

The future is bright the future is orangutan.

There needs to be more monkeys in films!

5 out of 5 stars Good movie. But 5 STARS for AMAZING JENNIFER BASSEY!!!!!!.......2005-05-30

Usually I don't make such crappy reviews, but Jennifer Bassey's massage towel scene was so show stealing and sexy, I had to be biased! Wish I were the one touching her delicious body at the time.

4 out of 5 stars Cute movie........2005-04-18

My 5 yr. old Grandson found this movie to be very entertaining.
I would recommend for this age group.

3 out of 5 stars Unless you're 7, you might want to check out.......2005-01-24

When young Eric (Kyle Grant) befriends an orangutan named Dunston (played by Sam) in a luxury lodge, he soon learns that the ape has been trained to perform acts of larceny throughout the 4-star hotel and the mystery of who owns him unfolds. The manager (Jason Alexander) is under scrutiny to gain a coveted 5th star when Dunston checks in, and everything goes upside down thanks to the sticky-fingered orange-furred "guest". Look for lots of broad comic shenanigans with Faye Dunaway as the rich-bitch hotel owner, and Rupert Everett as the cane-wielding, buck-toothed Lord Rutledge.
