An expert cast plays second banana to a simian who runs amuck at the five-star Majestic Hotel. But Dunston isn't bad, he was just trained that way by British jewel thief Rupert Everett. Seinfeld Emmy-winner Jason Alexander stars as the Majestic's harried manager, whose mischievous sons find and befriend Dunston just as the hotel is preparing for the season's biggest social event. Faye Dunaway, who makes Leona Helmsley look like Mother Theresa, stars as his imperious boss. Like the underappreciated Monkey Trouble, this is a real sleeper for which kids will go ape. Recommended.
