An unlikely friendship is forged when an overachieving chimpanzee meets a lonely boy with a love for snowboarding in MXP: Most Extreme Primate. Jack the chimpanzee (MVP and MVP II) has given up hockey and skateboarding in favor of life with his family at the El Simian Nature Reserve, but a Mexican vacation gone awry lands Jack in Blackbrush, Colorado--right in the path of a lonely boy named Pete who's just moved into town. The two quickly become close friends, and eventually Pete teaches Jack to snowboard and they become partners in a snowboarding race. Factor in two greedy men looking to make their fortunes by kidnapping Jack and Jack's worried (human) "Mom" trying to track down Jack from Mexico in spite of a fierce hurricane, and a very familiar plot runs its predictable course. Unlike the previous MVP movies, this third production lacks intensity and suspense and ultimately leaves the viewer feeling uninvolved and uninterested. A brief demonstration by snowboarder Bjorn Leines serves as a high point for snowboarding fans. (Ages 5 to 10) --Tami Horiuchi

Customer Reviews

MXP Rocks
My kids love the whole MVP series, and this one is just as enjoyable as the others! Highly reccomended!!!! By the way, the music from the Jay's band in the movie is great - and I found that the songs are from a real band whose cd you can buy here on Amazon. They are called the dynamite boy and all the songs from the movie are on their Somewhere in America CD too.

Jack is cool in this movie with his snow boarding and I think you will enjoy the movie, so GO FOR IT!

Amazing!
Of the 3 films in the MVP trilogy, I think MXP might be the best. I watched this one with a few friends before going out on a Saturday night. The comic hijinks of Jack and the other monkeys, as wells as the complete aloofness of every adult in the movie who fails to see Jack climbing trees, eating food, and sneaking onto airplanes dressed in a sombrero and pancho is incredible. This film sells itself. 1 monkey + 1 snowboard = awesome. Is MXS (Most Extreme Surfer) next? I hope so.

Great Family Fun
Another great film in the "MVP - Most Valuable Primate" series.

Jack does it again and pulls of some amazing stunts that will delight kids and adults.

This is a family film that lives up to the description with no unexpected embarassing situations that parents will have difficulty explaining to their children.
