New York Daily News by Elizabeth Weitzman
Neither chimps nor children should be subjected to such shabby mediocrity.
The New York Times by Lawrence Van Gelder
For juvenile filmgoers and families in search of a more-than-twice-told tale with uplifting messages about the rewards of perseverance, the virtues of animals and acceptance of the handicapped, MVP will do.
TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh
Sweet and sort of cute -- watch and see if it doesn't kind of sneak up on you.
A lark gone utterly awry.
Even parents might find themselves having fun.
