A ridiculous romp that requires one suspend all critical thinking to be enjoyed. My eight year old self would have loved this if he could get past the wildlife experts repeatedly referring to the ape as a monkey. The most intelligent character in this ridiculous movie is the man in the ape suit. In spite of this movie's strange blend of awfulness and absurdity, I kept watching it to the end. I doubt I'll watch it again.
