I mistakenly brought this home as a "family time" movie to watch with our three kids (ages between 6 and 10). It was simply terrible. It had weak character development, coupled with extremely poor acting. It was devoid of humor (not that this movie is a comedy, but it might have provided the audience with something to look forward to). The language was coarse, and although it was not the standard-issue "swear words", it was entirely inappropriate for kids who are easily influenced by such bad behaviors. The theme was hard to discern, besides the brutally simplistic stereotyping of "gorillas are savage people-killers", and the counterpoint of "gorillas are gentle giants with big hearts". The only thing hat reduced my pain in my poor movie choice was the fact that I rented it out of a kiosk machine for only a buck. Do yourself a big favor and skip this one.
