Best movie of this year hands down!

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Kinda like Beetlejuice meets Monte Python. Rose McGowan and Bridgette Fonda are terrific,,, Frazer is _____ ... Story line is a bit confusing, but, maybe that's just me. Gonna be hard to come up with six more lines of text,, but give me a sec and I will try to get some more thoughts together. Wow,, this is really harder than I thought. Never heard about it or saw it in the theater, or even advertised, so, maybe it was made to go straight to video. I'm sure a lot of effort and money went into it, but for me it just misses the mark. Ahh -- there --- ten lines. How'z Zat? Holy cow,,, STILL not enough lines. Well,, let's go back to Rose McGowan. She is super hot, and way overdue for a big blockbuster. Loved Planet Terror; cried when she lost her leg, but the prosthesis was more than adequate. Love to see her in another Tarentino film, along with Zoe Bell who is another favorite. That should do it -- everybody happy now? Good!!!

One of the best films of 2001, highly recommended for Brendan Fraser heads. He really shows off his versatility in this movie, acting as more then one character (a monkey even !) This movie was funny but parts of it were also a bit creepy at time. Whoopie Goldberg was really funny in this one, her sassy attitude was funny. I also enjoyed when they were in Monkeybone world it reminded me of nightmare before Christmas. However if your watching this with your younger kids than i might recommend screening it first so you can hide the scary parts :)older kids can watch monkeybone no problemFavorite quote: 'The woman I love is living with a horny little monkey that looks like me!'

This is a very displeasing film from Brendan Fresher's hit or miss film bag. While the idea original, and the voice work from John Turturro as Monkey bone is top notch, this film just feels too dark for kids and too random for anyone else. There's just no effort to make the plot watchable. Everything just breezes through, with loads of unfunny, random scenes, with one dimensional characters. The animation is unbearable and the world of the coma is ugly and dark. Brendan Frasher gives an OK performance and the jokes are just not there. Mostly this is just a forgettable film that came out in a February. he character development is horrible and we just don't find any reason to enjoy the story or to want Brendan's character to come out of a coma.

Monkeybone is original no denying that.It seems to be geared to get a reaction - every pore in the first forty minutes is explored for it surreal quality - creatures of another world abound.If you like your films to be unusual and wacky then this is the film for you - Hellzapoppin meets Erasurehead with a rom-com gooey middle - just weirdly wonderful, and sometimes just plain weird.Not horrific at all it is like watching a circus show - and the energy is palpable - definitely worth viewing if you've never seen it, just don't expect to be just entertained this is ALice in Wonderland for a new generation and very, very strange medicines are involved...Great if you're in the mood, you'll hate it otherwise...
