Opening This Week:
<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/c/12_chimpanzee.htm> Chimpanzee
★★ (out of ★★★★)
Nationwide - Just in time for this year's Earth Day comes "Chimpanzee," and
if it's a marginal step up from the cheap exploitation of "African Cats,"
it still falls into many of the same egregious traps. The film is earnest
enough that it's difficult to hate, but it's also such a squandering of
resources that one can't help but sort of resent it.

★½ (out of ★★★★)
Nationwide - Far-fetched and then insulting as decisions are made for no
good reason other than to complicate a thread-thin plot, "The Lucky One" is
but a series of lovingly lit shots in search of a purpose for existing.
It's a new nadir for Nicholas Sparks in Hollywood, and director Scott Hicks
is left holding the shovel.
