Ted, The Man with the Yellow Hat: George is gone. It's all my fault.

Miss Maggie Dunlop: You're right.

Ted, The Man with the Yellow Hat: Huh?

Miss Maggie Dunlop: Ted, do you want to hear what you want to hear, or what you should hear?

Ted, The Man with the Yellow Hat: Uh... Could you run that by me again?

Miss Maggie Dunlop: Do you want to hear the truth which you should hear and I'll tell you, and not just what you think you want to hear? The truth is that George is gone and it is you're fault. Now the question is, what are you going to do about it?



Curious George
Voices of Will Ferrell, Frank Welker, Drew Barrymore
Written by Ken Kaufman and Directed by Matthew O’Callaghan


THE CASE: The big-screen adaptation of the popular Curious George books featuring the infamous Man in the Yellow Hat and his curious and trouble-seeking monkey, George.


THE GOOD: This film is such a joy to watch. The style of animation is very relaxed, simple, and very inviting. The story of the developing friendship between Ted (Man in the Yellow Hat) and his extremely cute and lovable monkey, George, is one that people of all ages can enjoy. Will Ferrell, Drew Barrymore, and Eugene Levy lend their voice talents and really make the characters come to life. With a soundtrack by Jack Johnson, this film really makes you smile and forget your worries for 86 mins.


THE BAD: I found the character of Miss Maggie Dunlop (Drew Barrymore) quite lovable and the romance between her and Ted was adorable. I wish the film could have explored their relationship a little bit more, but I guess children don’t really care about romance as much as George, so fair enough. Besides that, there is not too much I can say that is bad about this film -- except for the fact that I wish it could have been longer.


THE LAW: This film was fun and oh-so-cute. If you have children, they must see Curious George and if you feel like being a child again, you also must see Curious George.
