Curious George is Harpo Marx minus the malice. His muteness amplifying his mischief, George airs his kiddie id with groping recklessness. He breaks things, tangles plans and ruffles everyone in his bungling path. George, a hunched baby chimp with a round head and a bitty "o" for a mouth, has the lyrical comic grace of a fine silent movie star. He's a speechless motion machine of accidental buffoonery, a perfect emblem of every childish impulse small humans are taught to muzzle. Read the full review
Curious George, the inquisitive little monkey with an insatiable taste for adventure, is adapted to the screen from the series of books that debuted in 1941. George's spunky and fun-loving nature endears him to new friends, but also lands him in a series of adventures and misadventures.
