New York Post V.A. Musetto

Even parents might find themselves having fun.

The New York Times Lawrence Van Gelder

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.

TV Guide Maitland McDonagh

Sweet and sort of cute -- watch and see if it doesn't kind of sneak up on you.

LA Weekly Nicole Campos

Has its moments.

Chicago Tribune Patrick Z. McGavin

A dull, amateurish mixture of the sentimental and the obvious.

New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman

Neither chimps nor children should be subjected to such shabby mediocrity.

Variety Robert Koehler

A lark gone utterly awry.
