Monkeybone movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Susan Stark, Detroit News: The showy visuals rest on nothing firmer than a marshmallow bed of chaos and confusion. Read more
Nancy Churnin, Dallas Morning News: The story is frustrating in its refusal to stick to any logical core -- emotionally or otherwise. Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: Simply put, Monkeybone is to comedy what Battlefield Earth was to science fiction. Read more
A.O. Scott, New York Times: A welcome antidote to the epidemic of witless, frenetic, secondhand low comedies that gnaw at our brains like antibody-resistant spirochetes. Read more
Lisa Alspector, Chicago Reader: You can almost see money dripping off the walls of the sets and cybersets in this special-effects extravaganza. Read more
Steve Murray, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: A lot of eye-catching costumes and effects in search of a plot. And, often, basic coherency. Read more
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: An incredible journey of the imagination, darkly humorous and zesty in spirit. Read more
Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle: Most of the movie is grotesque and creepy in the worst way. Read more
Paul Tatara, CNN.com: One of those newfangled production design monstrosities that grabs you by the collar in the first ten minutes, then shakes you around like a rag doll until you're ready to drop. Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: There's unwieldy mess -- but there's also unruly brilliance to this dark and funny story. Read more
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail: Why do I still have a soft spot for this flick? Because there are glimmers of intelligence in the mess, because it must have driven the marketing department crazy, and because it fails so differently than all those run-of-the-mill failures. Read more
John Anderson, Newsday: Too much of everything, a lo mein-stuffed lasagna in banana bechamel sauce. With a coffee malted. And pickles. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: The movie labors hard, the special effects are admirable, no expense has been spared, and yet the movie never takes off. Read more
Charles Taylor, Salon.com: A giddy madcap classic, one of the wildest and funniest American comedies in years. Read more
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: The film becomes a flailing mess. Read more
Derek Adams, Time Out: The design is often brilliant, although the film is nowhere near as tasteless or funny as it ought to be. Read more
Susan Wloszczyna, USA Today: Its fondness for fart and genitalia jokes ... proves its downfall. Read more
Dennis Harvey, Variety: The guy can't control his 'monkey,' get it? Heh-heh. Yep, that's the whole concept. Heh. Pretty twisted, eh? Heh ... har ... um ... zzzzzz. Read more
Rita Kempley, Washington Post: The result is a script so needlessly complicated that it defies comprehension. Read more
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post: Is it funny? Fitfully, but not consistently enough. Read more
