1.5/5
"consistently goes for the cheap laughs, mining way too many jokes out of puns, pratfalls, and the occasional reference to poop (these are apes, after all)"  Filmcritic.com  Bill Gibron

D+
"As bland matinee diversions go, Chimps isn't the worst thing to plop your child in front of, but it's hardly worth the hundreds of dollars it takes to get a family to the movie theater these days."  BrianOrndorf.com  Brian Orndorf

3/10
"Lacking forward motion, Space Chimps turns itself in circles."  PopMatters  Cynthia Fuchs

1/4
"A sexual metaphor about penises and a scene where a character is eaten by a creature and escapes death by exiting its anus is so inappropriate that the MPAA must have been asleep when they rated this G."  TheMovieBoy.com  Dustin Putman

2.5/4
"Chimp-related puns and maxims naturally abound, as do references to such unchildlike things as rhetorical questions and NFL expansion teams, and delivered at a clip that's alternately lively and insecure."  Slant Magazine  Ed Gonzalez

B
"The film is no classic, certainly, but it's not one of those throwaway puff pieces, either."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

2/4
"A real writer would have turned this in to a great animated action flick instead of animated ADD pabulum..."  Cinema Crazed  Felix Vasquez Jr.

C
"Saturday morning-grade fare that young children may enjoy but anybody older than eight will find bland and utterly forgettable."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

6/10
"Click here to read review"  vj.net.ua  Jaroslav Vishtaljuk

B-
"It's talking monkeys in space. How is that not fun?"  Film School Rejects  Kevin Carr

"[S]tarts out merely a misbegotten mess... And then it all turns terrifying..."  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

2/4
"Given that we have a gorgeously-animated, beautifully-constructed interstellar fantasy like Wall-E currently in theaters, why would anybody waste their time on Space Chimps?"  Aisle Seat  Mike McGranaghan

B
"These astro-chimps have the right stuff."  Beliefnet  Nell Minow

4/5
"It is actually kind of funny and entertaining despite the fact that it looks and sounds as though it is anything but that."  eFilmCritic.com  Peter Sobczynski

B
"...a good addition to this summer's family movie entertainment with its meaningful messages made appealing by a solid sense of humor."  Reeling Reviews  Robin Clifford

3/10
"A decidedly disapppointing, if occasionally diverting, digitally animated feature."  SSG Syndicate  Susan Granger
