if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

My son fell in love with Curious George when he was 4 and us in love with the show now. This is his favorite movie of the George series: it's easy for children shows' Halloween specials to scare a 4 year old kid, especially if he's not been exposed to a lot of adult shows or news (my son mostly hasn't, and definitely hadn't when he was 4 two years ago). This special didn't scare him at all, even if he did get that Halloween is about being scared a little. As usual it was sweet, educational, and funny (some lines from the movie being endlessly repeated by my son for a week was the "bad" part, maybe). We still watch this any time it's on. I highly recommend this to parents and children.

This was without a doubt one of my favorite kid films ever. Joe Fallon (writer) did a wonderful job of creating a timeless Curious George story - complete with a mystery, the Man with the Yellow Hat, and all the George hi-jinks we have come to know and love. The way they were able to devise a Halloween story for kids that brings in the right elements yet still keeps things kid-friendly was incredible. My kids have probably watched this a hundred times, with either my wife or I watching it with them at least thirty or so times. I am still enjoying it, even after all those viewings, and that's gotta say something. :-) By the way, if anyone can come up with contact info for Joe Fallon, please share, I would love to tell him what a great job he did. Thanks!
