Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Somewhat nilhistic themes but v funny, weak 1st half though
Review: There were many momment during this fun film where I was lauging out loud so much.
The nilhistic themes and messages of the film? Burger King making dirty burgers and doctors only using human bodies for money and personal gain during the organ donor thematics.

Weak first half though, but the second half surely made up for it! The DVD subtiles weren't very good though 4/10, somewhat lazy and inaccurate encyrption of closed captioning.

Summary: Somewhat nilhistic themes but v funny, weak 1st half though
Review: There were many momment during this fun film where I was lauging out loud so much.
The nilhistic themes and messages of the film? Burger King making dirty burgers, doctors only using human bodies for money, research and personal gain during the organ donor thematics. Plus it had a cynical view of the corporate business world. Weak first half though, but the second half surely made up for it! The only weak aspect of this DVD presentation is the subtitles, closed captioing. It was accurate I'd say approx. 70% of the time, and missed out 30% of the actual spoken film script dialogue. David Foley (of Newsradio sitcom fame) makes a strong appearance here. He looks different and is very funny especially when he was naked.

Summary: UGLY,OVERBLOWN,HORRIBLE,MESSY,AND UNFUNNY
Review: Worst film from director Henry Selick,he did well directing outstanding films such as A Nightmare Before Christmas and James and the Giant Peach.this terrible mess seems like a cheap comic book and not to interisting, Brendan Fraser is wasted in this film and Bridget Fonda is poorly performed in this film.the whole cast is wasted,but only chuckles come from lewd Monkeybone and Organ Donor Chris Kattan at the end.just terrible and unbearable.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Horrible
Review: This was an absolutely horrible movie that I actually spent good money to see in the theater. The special effects are weak, the story is needlessly convoluted, and the jokes are full of bad taste and unfunny situations. I have not seen this "Special Edition," but aside from shortening the movie down to its end credits, I can't imagine what they would do to it that would actually make it worth seeing again.

Summary: Silly And Outright Not Funny At All
Review: Brenden Fraser Is A great actor but chooses dumb film roles that
make him look like a fool thus not making a great actor he can
be. After a car crash Stu(Fraser)after comming to from a coma
stu's alter ego Monkeybone takes over his body and escapes to
wreak havoc on socitey. This film is by far Fraser's worst
compared to his other terrible comedies AIRHEADS(1994)BLAST FROM THE PAST(1999) Despite what other people say his best role was
in the powerful 1992 drama School Ties where he plays a jewish
student who hides his herritge from his friends at an upscale
private school. It's been a long while Fraser Has done anything
memorable dispite the sucsess of THE MUMMEY.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Worth A Look
Review: I found this to be an entertaining and thought provoking movie for the most part. There were slow moments and scenes that had a choppy feel to them, but no more than the average slapstick type flick. EXCELLENT song during closing credits by Eleni Mandell, an incredibly talented new artist on the L.A. scene. Why they didn't include it on the soundtrack is a mystery for the ages. I would have bought the soundtrack JUST for that song. Oh well...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A True Cult Following Sort Of Movie
Review: After reading of the low success this movie found while in theaters last year, I am somewhat shocked by the fact, for after viewing the film several times on cable, and then finally deciding to purchase it on video, I found this title to be very entertaining. So much so, I even purchased its official movie poster and a lil' Monkeybone doll from another site to go along with the nostalgia of the movie..it was that good to me, and I'm sure to a few others as well. While disappointed at knowing pretty much there won't be a sequel, I'm satisfied knowing I gave this movie a try and let myself become indulged into its deranged and often times off the wall humor. A word of advice to those who've not seen it, I assure you that if you see it once, 50/50 your going to like it or not, so it just depends on your preferred comedy type. All in all, a funny Brendan Fraser flick.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Unbearable
Review: One of the worst movies I've ever seen. And it's not because it's different and radical- so were "Moulin Rouge" and "Titus", and they're my favorite movies. So I can't be accused of being narrow-minded. This movie is just stupid, irrelevant, and un-entertaining. I can't stand Brendan Fraser to begin with. The only one of his movies I actually like is "The Mummy", and that's because he doesn't have to act much. Thank god he dropped out of "The Wedding Planner". That movie had enough problems. Anyway, this movie [was bad]. Don't buy it.
