TV Guide Magazine
This is a very funny satire of television. - 75
The Seattle Times
Turned out much better than one might have hoped, especially when the emphasis is off the chimp and focuses on the monkeys running the fictional UBC network, where most of the action takes place. [09 Nov 1995, p.G39] - 50
The New York Times
In this genial but strained and arch frolic, the one real joke is not only "in" but it wears thin and even frantic. - 50
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
A B comedy so forgettable that although I know I saw it, I was equally sure that Fred MacMurray was in it. (He wasn't.) But over time, movies - particularly Disney comedies - tend to acquire a hazy, nostalgic charm. [10 Nov 1995]
