Dunston Checks In Storyline

The Majestic Hotel is a 5-star luxurious establishment, and the manager, Robert Grant, is devoted to keeping his guests happy. However, his sons, Brian and Kyle, are quite the opposite, troublesome, and mischievous. He discovers that a sixth star could be rewarded to the hotel if a representative is impressed, and this representative is an undercover guest. But then Lord Rutledge and his well-trained orangutan, Dunston, check in. Dunston is trained as a jewel thief by Rutledge, and he attempts to escape a life of crime and with Brian and Kyle’s help, might just destroy the chances of the hotel becoming a 6-star.

Dunston Checks In Movie Reviews

Dunaway checks in, out, and around

After a career entailing “Bonnie and Clyde”, “Little Big Man”, “Chinatown”, “Three Days of the Condor” and “Network”, might it seem really low for Faye Dunaway to act in a movie like “Dunston Checks In”? Maybe, but the movie pretty much understands what sort of movie it is: silly, harmless fun. As it is, Faye Dunaway plays the same kind of character that she played in “Network”, only bitchier. And if it seems that I try too hard to analyze a movie like this, so be it. Above all, I still consider Faye Dunaway REALLY hot! And I’m sure that I always will.

Also starring Jason Alexander, Rupert Everett and Paul Reubens (aka Pee-Wee Herman).

Orangutan at a ritzy hotel makes harmless fun for children…

This is the sort of light caper that is nothing special but does provide some harmless fun for kids who will undoubtedly get more of a kick out of an Orangutan’s shenanigans than an adult will–although there are some very clever moments that fill the bill for young and old.

JASON Alexander is expert as a hotel manager with two bratty kids who seem to have nothing better to do than make mischief as they cavort around the hotel with an unexpected guest. Seems that a jewel thief (RUPERT EVERETT) has checked in with his pet who’s been trained to steal. This sets up the structure of the plot which has the kids and the Orangutan as the main focus of attention.

It’s fun to see FAYE DUNAWAY enjoying herself in a comic role and everyone else enters nicely into the spirit of the whole thing. Easy to take and passes the time quickly with a few very clever moments among the many vignettes involving some cute stunts.

A Pleasant Surprise, Especially Dunaway

This was surprisingly entertaining and with a few minor exceptions, very inoffensive family fare. It’s another one of those adults-and-kids can enjoy flicks with a number of lines that border on being too much for kids but are still tame for adults – close, but safe. There are also some funny special effects and some good slapstick humor.

Being basically a kids’ film, the main child, played by Eric Lloyd is cute but a little too spoiled for me but he’s tolerable, as is his brother. Jason Alexander is the father, a very likable subdued guy but a little too lenient.

The real surprise in this cast is Faye Dunaway. Usually playing hard-edged types, she is the opposite in here which is kind of refreshing to see. She shows a nice comedic touch. The chimpanzee is probably the most entertaining, which is the idea, but so is the villain played by Rupert Evert. In other words, there are a lot of likable characters in this movie.

This a “sleeper:” an underrated film that a lot of people would enjoy. I’m sorry it never got much “press.”
