A dim sitcom of the kind Universal turned out by the dozens in the early 50s, distinguished -- if that's the word -- by the presence of Ronald Reagan.

My favorite onscreen scream. And Bonzo was pretty cute too. :-)

HARDLY A CLASSIC, BUT HARMLESS AND LIKEABLE ENOUGH. THERE ARE SOME AMUSING SCENES. RONALD REAGAN GIVES HIS USUAL POOR PERFORMANCE, BUT DIANA LYNN IS FINE.

Dutch Reagan's finest moment on film? Or a tragic waste of the human spirit? Harmless fun finds the Gipper playing 'Daddy' to said Bonzo, a very naughty monkey indeed. Bland as soggy Wonder Bread, with as just as many laughs. Makes some episodes of 'Leave It To Beaver' look like 'King Lear'. Something about heredity versus environment, a professor mit an Austrian accent und mustache, wacky hi-jinx involving climbing trees - ahhh...you get the idea. Bonzo is cute though. Interesting little known fact: Reagan would become President of the United States!

The Ronald Reagan classic, Bedtime for Bonzo is a wacky goofball comedy that's full of laughs. When Professor Peter Boyd's father-in-law to be objects to his heredity, Peter attempts to prove nurture trumps nature by raising a chimp named Bonzo to have good morals; and to assist him he hires a nanny to care for Bonzo as she would a child. Reagan gives a strong performance as a straight-man and Diana Lynn has a natural charm and charisma. But of course Bonzo has to carry the film, and you couldn't ask for a cuter, funnier chimp than Peggy (aka Bonzo). Most of the comedy relies on physical slapstick, and the writers come up with a number of wild and crazy antics for the chimp to get into (without seeming overly contrived). For what it is, Bedtime for Bonzo is incredibly entertaining and fun.
