How does Jack, a chimpanzee with the IQ of a genius, end up living in the frozen North and playing hockey on a kids' junior hockey team? It all starts with the unfortunate demise of the professor who trains and cares for him and the dean's plans to sell Jack to a research facility. Jack's somewhat slow-witted janitor friend puts Jack on a train bound for the El Simian reserve, but he sleeps through his stop and winds up in a small Canadian town instead. Jack quickly befriends Tara Westover, a deaf girl recently transplanted from California, and her brother Steven. Mishaps abound as Jack attempts to blend into the town, but eventually he joins Steven on the local hockey team--as its star player! Can Jack turn around the team's dismal record? Can Steven and Tara prevent the dean from catching up with Jack and sending him to the research lab?

Perfect for Hocky Loving Kids.......2007-01-22

I ordered this movie for my husband's cousin, who's 7 and crazy about hockey. He loves the movie and has added it to his constantly playing hockey movie marathon. You'll love this fun story too about a Monkey who breaks out and joins the hockey team.

WARNING! The description is wrong, this is FULL SCREEN!.......2006-03-21

Regardless of what you order, you get full screen, which really pisses me off. There is no excuse for only making a full screen DVD in the 21st Century!!!

Warning: No talking animals.......2006-02-07

How am I supposed to understand what the chimp is talking about if all he does is make noises. Having a major character in a movie, animal or not, who doesn't have any speaking lines is ridiculous. Also, even though the chimp is on the cover, this movie ends up being much more about this kid and his family and winning this one game, etc. I wish they had invested a lot more in the chimp himself, or at least represent the movie more honestly on the cover, like maybe showed the chimp and the kid with his family on the ice together. Then maybe I wouldn't have wasted my time watching this kiddie garbage.

GREAT MOVIE FOR KIDS WHO LOVE HOCKEY.......2006-01-29

THIS MOVIE IS WONDERFUL FOR KIDS WHO LOVE HOCKEY. MY SON WATCHES IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND LAUGHS EVERY TIME.

The Best Chimp Film I've Seen!.......2005-12-29

A great funny comedy film featuring a clever chimp,Jack, who has a exciting journey on his way home where his family lives. Things didnt turn out according to plan when he got off in
canada, his wrong destination. Fortunately Jack found a young girl the name of Tara and made friends with her. Jack also became the star player of the local ice hockey team. In the end he went on another journey and arrived back home. It's a wonderful film that will get you giggling on a day in!!

Description

He skates. He boards. He's more fun than a barrel of monkeys. He's Jack, a sign language-adept chimp who escapes from a research lab in MVP Most Valuable Primate (Side A). Befriended by two hockey-loving teens, the gifted ape soon becomes a member of their team and, along the way, helps his pals find the courage to become champions. Next, Jack shows he has an ape-titude for skateboarding in MVP 2 Most Vertical Primate (Side B). Unexpected events separate the chimp from his friends in a strange city. But a shy skateboarder named Ben helps him and soon, it's monkey see, monkey do: Jack is cutting loose, getting radical and grinding. Things don't stop there. Because when Jack's around, you know things are going to get hairy!

MVP - Most Valuable Primate/MVP 2 - Most Vertical Primate DVD ~ Robert Vince [DVD] .......2005-09-30

Great Family Entertainment! Both very enjoyable and easy to follow. They were easy for some Korean kids that understood limited English. Although, this version did not have subtitles as most for them to read the English as they listened.
