Storyline

Minkey, a super-spy primate, and his partner Mike were the two best spies in the business. For years, they made every mission possible... But when Mike retired to raise his baby girl, Amelia, he never predicted that life would come full circle. Ten years later, Amelia -- who has invented a revolutionary chemical drill -- is kidnapped and whisked off to Japan by her hero, Dr. Farley, who is planning a highly dangerous experiment that could cause a massive earthquake and destroy the entire world. Mike and Minkey partner up one last time for their most important mission ever: saving Amelia -- and the world -- from the clutches of the evil Dr. Farley.

sweet chimp

If there is one thing I know, it is that this is no monkey movie! In actual fact, if one is commenting on knowing anything about monkey movies, one should know that Minkey is a chimp..not a monkey. I have only had a few acting gigs, but when that chimp pulled his skate board out from his back pack and dropped it on the ground, I almost shed a tear. The dojo scene reminded me of a first class Keanu scene from Matrix...or was that Matrix 2...all those movies blend together if you ask me. Lasers, Chimps, and a live action avalanche. It's a recipe for high drama, serious suspense, and a killer delivery from one of the best Chimps on the west coast. A+
