Curious George
The man with the yellow hat named Ted Shackleford works at a natural history museum that's fallen on hard times. The museum director's son wants to turn it into a parking lot, but Ted offers to bring back a mysterious idol from Africa that's guaranteed to pull in crowds. Unfortunately, the idol turns out to be three inches tall. But Ted accidentally brings back a lonely yet irrepressible monkey, soon dubbed George. They set off on a non-stop action, fun-filled journey through the wonders of the big city toward the warmth of true friendship.

The welcome absence of strained cleverness qualifies as one of its biggest virtues.

It's a gentle, unhurried, largely hand-drawn children's cartoon with a nice simple storyline and no nods and winks to the grown-ups.

It's good old-fashioned family entertainment.

Gentle enough to satisfy the wee ones but has little to offer their adult companions...

Curious George is probably the purest family movie in years.

George is just so darn cute with his big eyes and bright smile and perpetually sunny disposition, he's pretty much impossible to resist.

Sure, it's a film for the toddlers, but that doesn't mean the adults can't find something good from it.

A decent distraction for the young ones, it also seems content to be merely that.

Director Matthew O'Callaghan and screenwriter Ken Kaufman haven't tried to create a film that's hip, just one that's funny and sweet, and in that sense they've succeeded.

George's character has been intensely cutesified here, with little of the subversive edge which remains the secret of his lasting appeal.
