Get your movie off me you damned dirty ape! Sorry to see the chimps exploited in the movie and I wonder where those chimps are now. That being said, the movie was sappy and disappointing. The costuming was great but the movie over all just feels meandering and pointless. There is almost a point where Russo's character realizes that she's abused this animal by having it live like a human but then she misses the realization in favor of the belief that she's somehow still in control of Buddy the gorilla. Would have made a decent Fatal Attractions episode but not a good full length feature film. Go see Chimpanzee instead.
