Critic Reviews
"Most adults like to think there's still a little 6-year-old inside them. Well, mine isn't talking to me anymore, not since I took him to 'Space Chimps.'"—Washington Post3
"'Space Chimps' is delightful from beginning to end..."—Roger Ebert4
"Nothing about 'Space Chimps' suggests a strong cinematic or artistic drive; it's fairly video game-y itself, with characters bouncing around visually repetitive environments..."—The A.V.Club5
"Kids might find the sight of monkeys -- sorry, apes -- wrestling in outer-space funny, but unless they're unusually sophisticated, much will probably just confuse them."—TV Guide6
"'Space Chimps' sucks a whole lot of talented people into a wormhole of lousy. The film either needed to be a lot wittier to make up for the way it looks, or a lot better-looking to compensate for the funny it isn’t."—Chicago Tribune7
