MVP2: Une merveille verticale chez les primates

This was my favorite movie to watch when I was back in elementary, it is so joyful, soft, and sad all at the same time. Jack is an ape with clever and talented skills. The boy in the movie sounded shy every time it was time to play his scene. The hockey players were cool and sober. Richard Karn played a cool roll as a skateboard shop salesman. I watched it on the VCR/VHS tapes, and it makes me feel young and old watching it today. I like how there was no profanity, or curse words at all in this movie. I sure do wish the world was like this today. The soundtrack always had me in tears of joy every time it came on.

Still not all that unwatchable, though 'MVP 2: Most Vertical Primate' is a clear downgrade from the original.

I still have nothing (aside from the standard 'using animals for entertainment' questionables, obvs) to dislike about these, they are so plain and unproblematic in movies terms that it's kinda impossible for me to get bored or anything with them.

With that said, this is an objectively poor movie; especially when compared with the first film from the trilogy. The human actors are a step down, the chimps clearly aren't as well trained/convincing and the plot is more broken apart; a skateboarding chimp is quirky enough to be interesting, though mashing it alongside the ice hockey stuff doesn't work.

The bits of the story with the characters of Scott Goodman and Richard Karn are, by process of elimination, the flick's biggest strength, though the former's low acting ability does hinder events onscreen - no hate on the kid actor, of course.

Next up, the woefully titled 'MXP: Most Xtreme Primate' - they couldn't have at least tied to stick with the MVP naming, eh?

This movie is about a radical skateboarding monkey who can skate a half-pipe, I guess? Sounds cool, but did you know that this monkey went on tour? My friend told me this story, but I am sure there were enough people in the audience this day to validate it.

One day my pal went to see the MVP at our local skate park. He was supposed to drop into the half-pipe. I guess they loaded him out of the truck, and he was looking pretty sad, wearing this diaper. He stood on the edge of the pipe for a while, and then just FELL in! When he bailed, he crapped his pants. His trainers grabbed him out of the pipe, hauled him back into the truck, and drove away. Poor dirty monkey.

People shouldn't use monkeys as hilarious gags. It's funnier when humans are doing/saying idiotic things.

Only the soundtrack is hot, especially in the saddest moments ... It follows the same line as the previous one, almost the same story, just for the little ones....

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie...although it was a little corny. But you must expect that if you are going to watch a movie where a monkey is the star athlete of a team. However, i thought that there were some parts that were HYSTERICAL! I enjoyed this movie just as much as its prequel. I expect to see an MVP III within the coming year.
