Makes me smile.

I can't speak for anyone else but this movie makes me happy. I know the gorillas aren't real but in my head they are.

It has a great cast and even though the acting may be comedic the whole way through I personally think it works to make the movie better than it would be had they pushed for an overly serious tone.

Highly recommended.
