Dunston Checks In is a delightful and funny family film of exceptional high style.

Director Ken Kwapis displays a deft touch, balancing realistic elements and outsize characterizations. Pic’s unflagging pace and the unexpectedly witty script by John Hopkins and Bruce Graham complement the simplicity of this comedy construct.

Dunston Checks In is a fast- moving, well-done farce that both kids and adults will enjoy.
75
A cheerful romp through a fussy New York hotel.
63
Dunston Checks In checks in somewhere between cute and zany. It's never really funny, but director Ken Kwapis has a low flair for slapstick that occasionally ignites a spark or two.
