| | Slant Magazine - Film Review: Curious George |
 | | urious George opens with the sight of the titular primate gazing at his own reflection in a pond, an apt inaugural image considering that 60 years' worth of children have seen their own inquisitive, mischievous inclinations mirrored in the antics of the impish monkey. |
| | The resulting hijinks involving the rascally, imitative George treating Manhattan like his own jungle gym are as soft and cuddly as they come, with paternal Ted extricating his childish pet monkey from mishaps involving paint, balloons, and a bubble bath (no trips to the hospital, though). |
| | Still, most of the focus is on harmless pratfalls and the non-stop adorability of George, the latter of which seems to be thoroughly on-target if the young girl sitting behind me at the press screening ("He's so cute!" she enthused) is any indication. |
