Description

A 5-star hotel turns into a 3-ring circus when an orangutan named Dunston checks in! Jason Alexander, Faye Dunaway, and Eric Lloyd star in this hilarious romp about an orangutan who gets loose in the elegant Majestic Hotel on the eve of the social event of the season. Dodging his jewel-thieving owner and the frantic hotel manager, Dunston is befriended by the manager's ten-year old son, Kyle, who is determined to help his new friend escape. Filled with laughter and comic high-jinks, Dunston Checks In is hilarious monkey-business!

    Watched this as a child, then watched it again as an adult, and every bit of it was as good as I had remembered!
  • Cerebral….yet Sublime.

    I mostly go in for independent films…..preferably in black and white and subtitled in Slovak…..but…..something told me to take a chance on this one. Kwapis (AKA K-Dog) really delivers. There is everything…..sex, money…intrigue…..partial Jason Alexander nudity. For those of you that don't know…..the series "Seinfeld" is a shameless rip off of "Dunston Checks In"….even though it first aired six years after the beginning of Seinfeld…..it is THAT powerful. You owe it to yourself to see this movie. I would suggest as a wine pairing maybe a haughty Willamette Valley Pinot Noir and maybe some Nacho flavored Cheez Its. The movie is best enjoyed in a turtle neck and high waisted Levi's, A cinematic gem that now belongs to the ages.
  • Awesome

    Absolutely hilarious! Brilliantly directed! I have viewed it many times. Each time, I laugh just as hard as I did when I saw it for the first time. Even though mild violence is displayed at times, I recommend "DUNSTON CHECKS IN" to all ages.

    I remember always watching this as a kid and loving it. I also recall having a small crash on the little kid. But anyways. This movie is amazing. It's so funny and it brings back a lot of memories. If you love movies that have animals in it, you'll fall in love with this one! :)
