The film is about a young man named Ted Shackelford who works at a museum of natural history. One day, the museum's son's son decided to turn this place into a parking lot, but Ted offers to return a mysterious idol from Africa that guarantees crowds are drawn. Things seem to be turning on a bad path, while Ted appears to have accidentally returned a lonely monkey.
Director Matthew O'Callaghan and screenwriter Ken Kaufman haven't tried to create a film that's hip, just one that's funny and sweet, and in that sense they've succeeded.
