I was dying to see this movie, because at the time I had a bit of a crush on Brendan Fraser, but I couldn't have been more disappointed.
It wasn't funny at all, I don't recall laughing at any time. My little brothers were laughing when the partly decomposed man was running away from the surgeons, with the doctors shouting "Those are our organs!" the entire time. I just thought it was discusting and it didn't do much for the plot, except for make it worse than it already was.
Though, the movie is somewhat like a conspiracy a friend of mine thought of. That we're all in a coma, and there's a whole other world that exists while we are sleeping, and we are all sleeping. Which is basically the story, and what a classic story it is...
Boy goes into a coma, boy lives with imaginary monkey, boy comes back as dead guy, boy gets girl as reincarnated dead guy...It's a beautiful, beautiful tale that will move you to tears...Or not.
I suggest you see it once (because if you're anything like me, you wont want to see it again), then try to win back the hour and a half that you threw away to see Monkeybone. There are actors and actresses in it that I wanted to see, which was the only reason I saw it. (Brendan Fraser, Whoopi Goldberg, Megan Mullally...)
I give Monkeybone 2/5 stars. Cheers!
