Description

Rene Russo (Ransom, Get Shorty) stars as eccentric socialite Gertrude "Trudy" Lintz, who adopts a baby gorilla into her already-bustling animal menagerie. Along with chimpanzees Maggie and Joe, Buddy gets into all kinds of hilarious monkey business and proceeds to drive everyone bananas. A delightful family adventure based on a remarkable true story featuring amazing effects courtesy of Jim Henson's Creature Shop.

    Of course I loved ALL the animals, but what I also loved was that Trudy was not alone. She had her loving husband, the nanny/trainer, and the cook who also helped take care of the animals.
  • Animal Aficionados will love Buddy!

    May not be a theatrical stand out but definitely heart warming. Russo's portrayal of an ersatz mom to an orphaned ape is delicious. Based on fact, Buddy is one of my favorites.
