[edit] Plot summary
The Majestic Hotel is a 5-star luxury establishment, and manager Robert Grant (Jason Alexander) is devoted to keeping his guests happy. Grant is informed by the chairman of the hotel that a sixth star could be rewarded to the Majestic Hotel, if a certain representative is impressed, and that this representative is posing as a guest of the Majestic Hotel. However, a certain guest by the name of Lord Rutledge (Rupert Everett) checks in with his orangutan, Dunston, who is trained as a jewel thief. Dunston attempts to escape a life of crime with the help of Kyle and Brian, Grant's mischievous sons, but this just might destroy the chances of the hotel becoming a 6-star establishment.
[edit] Trivia
- In the closing host segment of the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode 'Jack Frost', Brain Guy and Professor Bobo argue that Every Which Way But Loose and Any Which Way You Can respectively deserve the title of 'best ape movie ever made'. Pearl Forrester butts in and declares Dunston Checks In to be deserving of that title.
