Mom, Can I keep Her? (1998)

Every schlock movie director seems to do a kid's film at some point and this is Fred Olen Ray's. Justin Berfield stars as a kid who befriends a 500 lb. gorilla escaped from a carnival (played by Don McLeod, wearing the same gorilla suit he used for American Tourister luggage ads). Supposed comedy ensues. Gil Gerard, Brinke Stevens, Mary Woronov and George "Buck" Flower all have roles. It's cheap and it doesn't work as comedy, but it might actually entertain small children, which puts it ahead of most films of this type.
