Christy Lemire Deseret News (Salt Lake City) Director Matthew O'Callaghan and screenwriter Ken Kaufman haven't tried to create a film that's hip, just one that's funny and sweet, and in that sense they've succeeded. Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 18, 2008 Full Review Kate Taylor Globe and Mail Gentle enough to satisfy the wee ones but has little to offer their adult companions... Rated: 2/4 Jun 4, 2008 Full Review Nathan Rabin AV Club The welcome absence of strained cleverness qualifies as one of its biggest virtues. Rated: B- Feb 2, 2007 Full Review James Croot Stuff.co.nz Throw in an impressive vocal cast, including Van Dyke, Ferrell, Drew Barrymore and Joan Plowright and a terrific batch of toe-tapping Jack Johnson tunes -- and, even more than 15 years on, George is a movie with great school holiday appeal. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 12, 2023 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com It is, quite contentedly, a children's film. Rated: 3.0/4.0 Sep 5, 2020 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens Get curious! Let Curious George bring out the curiosity in you this weekend. Nov 7, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Synopsis In this animated film, explorer Ted (Will Ferrell) journeys to Africa hoping to recover an important artifact for his friend Bloomsberry (Dick Van Dyke), a museum director. Instead, however, he discovers an irrepressible little primate named George, who stows away on the ship back to New York City. There, Ted tries to stop plans to demolish the museum, but he has his hands full taking care of his new simian friend, whose curiosity may turn out to be more beneficial than anyone had imagined.
