75	New York Post Even parents might find themselves having fun.
60	The New York Times For juvenile filmgoers and families in search of a more-than-twice-told tale with uplifting messages about the rewards of perseverance, the virtues of animals and acceptance of the handicapped, MVP will do.
50	TV Guide Sweet and sort of cute -- watch and see if it doesn't kind of sneak up on you.
40	LA Weekly Nicole Campos Has its moments.
38	Chicago Tribune Patrick Z. McGavin A dull, amateurish mixture of the sentimental and the obvious.
38	New York Daily News Neither chimps nor children should be subjected to such shabby mediocrity.
20	Variety A lark gone utterly awry.
