38Short, cheap, weird, and passably diverting.
-
25Sucks 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.
-
25Only a truly dreadful story could make 81 minutes seem like an eternity. And Space Chimps is just that leaden experience.
-
Space Chimps might have been saved, in fact, by using real monkeys in the astronaut roles. Or, better yet, by having a monkey in the director's chair.

12I went in expecting to be disappointed, but even so, I was disappointed.
-
20And then there is the most annoying animated sidekick in a long time: a bulb-headed, trying-to-be-cute glow creature called Kilowatt (Kristen Chenoweth), who sings an ear-piercing, high-pitched note when it's scared, which is often.
-
While candy-colored graphics should dazzle kids, Space Chimps has little draw for audiences spoiled by the Pixar-given knowledge that CGI can entertain -- and not just stupefy -- moviegoers of any age.
-
Kids sense when a movie is being noisy and frantic just to keep them distracted; these apes are overcaffeinated.
-
20The animation, incidentally, is half-a--ed, like they ran out of the $292.96 budget halfway through. Rip-off indeed.
