Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

I remember seeing this all the time since I owned this movie on video. It was okay at first, but when you see it repeatedly, the movie becomes pretty ordinary. It's something you will probably not watch again unless it's on television or something. It is entertaining for a large part, so that shouldn't spoil your fun. The ending looked like it had potential for a sequel or something, but that didn't happen eventually. I thought this movie was kind of popular back then, but it looks like it's not due to the number of reviews on here.

oh my good god, Ron Jeremy you've done it again! You've delivered on making me laugh, cry and drop loads in my trousers once more! First off, the fact that Marlon Brando and Dunston reunite as well as Jimmy Saville playing Pee Wee Herman playing the hunter is stellar. it may not be as good as Garfield, a Tale of Two Kitties but I honestly believe that this movie ooh oo0 ah AOL ooh ah oho ooh eh ah-ooh ooh ah ah-ooh ooh ah oho ooh ah O ooh ah ah ooh eh Ho ooh ah ah ooh ah ah excuse me, I just reverted back to my orangutan state, you see I am actually an anthropomorphic monkey that can sometimes speak perfect eng- ooh- excuse me! Anyway, this movie is really good but it's not MVP: Most Vertical Primate. Obogo the Orangutan out ))=====D~~~ ROCKET SHIP

Dunston checks in is a funny, entertaining family flick with plenty of laughs. Jason Alexander (Seinfeld) plays 5 star hotel manager Robert Grant along with his two sons Kyle and Brian (Eric Lloyd and Graham Sack) who like to get into mischief around the hotel. Faye Dunaway (Chinatown) plays the snob of a hotel owner Mrs. Dubrow, and her hate for young children. Everything seems well until the beloved Orangutan Dunston checks in, along with his snobbish owner Lord Rutledge (Rupert Everett). Soon things get a little out of hand and all hell breaks loose through a comedic way that will have you in stitches.The acting was quite surprising especially from young Eric Lloyd after the smash family hit "The Santa Clause". Faye Dunaway surprises again with another well player role as well as Rupert Everett's well played role as the bad guy in the film. One thing a personal loved about this film was seeing Paul Reubens (Pee- wee's Big Adventure) play an extremely funny and stupid exterminator. I also loved Glenn Shadix role as Lionel Spalding who seems to always get hurt, from either someone slapping him or just falling over, and the conclusion of Lionel Spalding. I also couldn't stop laughing, where Dunston breaks into a hotel room owned by Mrs. Dellacroce and goes through all her clothes and drinks her perfume. Many will like this film for the comedy or you have a family with young children. If you like Jason Alexander or Faye Dunaway or you just love Orangutans or all three and enjoy comedies this is a film you will sure love. be warned Jason Alexander does sneak the words "Holy S***" although is used in a comedic way. A great family classic, Dunston checks in, is a great one for kids, If there into monkeys they will love it, and is one for the whole family to enjoy.

I have seen this movie it was a great movie. Sam as Dunston the orangutan was very cute. Jason Alexander as Robert Grant was very good at this film. Eric Loyd as Kyle Grant was very nice in this film. Paul Rebuns (pee wee) as Buck LaFarge was funny. Faye Dunaway as Mrs, Dubrow was very beautiful. Whats sad that Dunston has a piece of glass on his hand. Dunston was scared about his hand. Whats terrible that Dunston does not have Samson anymore. Jennifer Bassey as Mrs. Dellacroce was very nice. Glenn Shadix as Lionel Spalding is funny. Rupert Everett as Lord Rutledge was very interesting That movie is funny, cute, and great you will like this movie so does Dunston the orangutan.
