"Space Chimps" wasn't a bad movie, exactly, but it wasn't a real good one, either. It is the story of a group of monkeys who are launched to find out if a "wormhole" in space is safe to travel through. On the other side, they find an inhabited planet where one of the creatures is using a space explorer previously sent out as a tool to rule the beings of hos world. Of course, when the space chimps arrive, they are faced with the choice of leaving well enough alone or helping to defeat this de facto leader. The humor is basically run of the mill. It is somewhat funny at times, but never really hits the mark. It is also now official that Patrick Warburton (Puddy from "Seinfeld") is being given way too much voice work in animated films. Sure, he has a cool, deep, cartoony voice, but it is so easily identifiable as him that you really can't get too into the characters he is playing. Younger kids may like some of the sillier gags, but, other than that, there is just not much to this movie. As mentoned earlier, it was not awful. It was just "there".Grade: D+
