Dunston Checks In is the most played DVD in our home...

...probably because my two toddlers simply can't get enough of it. Cartoons? Flashy computer animated movies? Musicals? Nope. These movies simply don't grab their attention, but ever since my two year old daughter saw "Dunston Checks In" for the first time... the "munkeee moo-vee" has been played every day in our home!
That's no exaggeration either! Even if my kiddos aren't really paying attention to the movie - it has to be on. My youngest 1 year old daughter just started recently requesting the "Monkey Movie" too... it's the cutest thing. And we've tried other "monkey" movies as well, like "Monkey Trouble" and nothing compares to "Dunston Checks In".
Honestly, I'm a bit burnt out on the movie. I'm a bit tired of hearing the woman at the annual ball scream, "It's a mooooonkey!". However, I still find myself stuck on the screen from time to time.
It's fun. It's witty. It's not too childish. It doesn't have too many "obvious" adult jokes, yet it's still enjoyable. It's has the perfect blend for a good family night. This movie is timeless and your kids can enjoy it over and over! Good acting, decent dialogue, and original!
If you haven't seen "Dunston Checks In" - do it. Who knows... you may find something to keep the kids busy for awhile.
