Looking for a movie title it was probably released in the 90's. It is about this young boy with divorced parents, he somehow ends up with this ape/monkey which is not real, and he takes it to try to get it to his father to release it in the wild, they are traveling in a van, this young boy is probably 16 or so in the movie, he gets some help from a girl and I think her uncle. It has some funny parts in it, and it is probably rated PG or PG13. The boy in it has dark hair, I think the girl that helps him has glasses. I can remember bits and pieces of it but I cannot see the title in my head. I remember in one part of the movie this boy and ape go through a drive through and while the boy is trying to order this ape is like shaking his seat or his head so he can't speak right to order, it was cute.

Please help if you can.

Thanks

The movie I'm thinking about has a gorilla in it. Different type than what is in Dunston Checks In. Not sure what kind of breed is in Dunston. Thanks though!

Born to be Wild. Guaranteed. It was released I think in '95. Born to Be Wild (1995/I) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113533/)

You're very welcome hollywood.
