Plot: The unbreakable bond forged between a troubled boy and a gorilla forms the basis of this family-oriented children's adventure. Fourteen-year old Rick has become quite rebellious since his father abandoned them. Margaret Heller, his mother, is a behavioral scientist who studies communication with gorillas. She is finding it increasingly difficult to communicate with the sullen, isolated Rick. The story opens just as Rick, who had stolen his mother's van for a joyride, is released from jail. To punish him, Margaret forces him to clean out the animal research lab. Rick is especially loathe to clean out the gorilla cage. In that cage is a gorilla adept at sign language, Katie, whom Rick immediately despises. In time, he and Katie begin conversing, and the two become friends. But then Katie's legal owner, the cruel Gus Charnley, reclaims her and forces her to perform caged up in a carnival act. The degradation of his friend is more than Rick can handle, so he frees her and together they hit the road. Mayhem and adventure ensues until the two end up in court where Katie makes a touching plea on their behalf. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

Great family movie full of excitement and adventure
Added 2/19/2007

Better than I thought it would be. Katie the gorilla has a mind of her own. You will laugh so hard you can't see. Katie teaches a 14 yr old boy Named Rick how to love and to be loved. He was committed to community service work after getting into all kinds of trouble. His father just up and left Rick and his mother. Rick got bullied at school and always got in trouble with the law. Then his mother, the scientist, introduced Rick to Katie. Katie mocked him at first, but then Rick and Katie the Gorilla became really close and were best friends. Rick had to learn to sign again so he could communicate with Katie the gorilla.

Then the unthinkable happens, Katie was to replace a caged displayed gorilla which was abused. Rick is furious with his mother and goes to save Katie himself. Man did Katie have fun on the run to Canada.

Rick saved Katie's life.

Very funny family movie. So glad we bought it. It was hilarious.

Highly recommended as a purchase.

Enjoy! Popcorn ready??

The Greatest Family Movie ever Made
Added 3/23/2003

I thought this movie was made really well. This has been the greatest family movie I have ever seen. It had me laughing and crying at the same time. This is a film that the whole family can enjoy from 0 to 99 years old. And I believe that your whole family will love this movie and watch it everyday like I do.

This movie was made for everybody likes comedy. There are no boring parts at all. It is a bit sad at the end but not very sad. It is half sad half happy at the end. Every minute of this is entertaining. Buy this and enjoy.
