Please don't let this chimps-as-astronauts movie be as heartbreakingly sad as Project X -- you know, the one in which Matthew Broderick ends up getting a chimp to save them all by telling him he'll give him cigarettes (long story, if you haven't seen it), but what really happens is that the chimp/savior dies and doesn't even get a damn smoke for his efforts! I think my feelings about Space Chimps are amply illustrated by the fact that I have spent this much time describing the plot of a movie that came out in 1987. Anyway, back to Space Chimps: It looks like it's actually more Armageddon than Project X, judging by the trailer, only Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck are chimps in this version. But, still, same story: Goofy, loserish guys (or chimps) get to be astronauts and play around at doing stuff way too important to be left in their hands. But they'll ultimately prove themselves worthy because otherwise this wouldn't be a feel-good kids movie. Oh, and it's from "one of the primates that brought you Shrek." Seriously, the trailer said those exact words. My feeling is you're touting just one person out of a crew of people who brought us Shrek, you should maybe just keep it to yourself. Your audience (kids) doesn't care about that anyway, and it just distracts from the stuff in the trailer that's supposed to make them laugh or otherwise, you know, want to see the movie. Which brings me to my ultimate point: Nothing funny or worthwhile in the trailer, so it's hard to believe this is going to live up to Shrek, Project X, or even, I'm loathe to admit, Armageddon (at least it boasted an insane Steve Buscemi and a charming Owen Wilson).
