A film that, in a non Pixar dominated reality, would be cleaning up at the box office. Its enough to make you laugh.

The best that can be said for Space Chimps is that its utterly undistinguished.
Paste Magazine

It is actually kind of funny and entertaining despite the fact that it looks and sounds as though it is anything but that.

Saturday morning grade fare that young children may enjoy but anybody older than eight will find bland and utterly forgettable.

Otherwise, the animation looks unfinished, with a kind of lifeless mechanical sheen replacing actual textures.

...a good addition to this summers family movie entertainment with its meaningful messages made appealing by a solid sense of humor.

Only a truly dreadful story could make 81 minutes seem like an eternity. And Space Chimps is just that leaden experience.

The film is no classic, certainly, but its not one of those throwaway puff pieces, either.

Despite a painfully lurid visual palette and some limp scripting, Space Chimps at least succeeds as undemanding multiplex fare.

But it isnt just that; its also weird, with some rattling moments of crudeness.

Itll keep the kids entertained for a while and give their parents a chuckle or two along the way.

Modestly entertaining and moderately painless. Under the circumstances, perhaps it would be unfair to ask for more. In any case, you wont get it.

The animated action movie nevertheless delivers da dum more fun than a barrel of monkeys.

Space Chimps isnt so terrible unashamed kids stuff that addresses no bigger question than how to pee in a space suit.

Small children may be distracted by the movies bright colors, but others will be bored by the dull story and almost complete lack of wonder.

Its pretty much your run of the mill CGI effort (and remember the days when the technology used to inspire ahhs and ohhhs).

There is genuine sparkle in the voice work and more than a few jokes that really do hit the sweet spot.

A movie called Space Chimps ought to be cheap, crude and silly, and this computer animated lark delivers on all fronts.
