Summary: AWFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I don't understand why people like this. The effects aren't that good and the characters are grating. This is going to make a very nice coaster.

Summary: Thi is a great movie!
Review: If you loved The Nightmare before Christmas, you'll love this. Even though it is not directed by Tim Burton, it's great. The use of stop motion and live action is great. You have to get this movie!

Summary: Instant Cult Classic
Review: This is the kind of movie that people remember. But, isn't nominated for an academy award. It is the kind of movie anyone who has seen it will never forget. SO I bet your just green with delight asking, What kind of movie be this? What could this movie possibly be about? Well. Meet Stan Miley a cartoon creator and Monkeybone the fruit of Stanleys imagination. The movie begins with Stan going to a party celebrating his comic strips sindication into a weekly television show. But, he leaves the party with his girlfriend, (Bridget Fonda, who met Stanley when he went to an institute to study a sleeping disorder he had). While he is leaving the parking lot he has a mishap with one of the Monkeybone toys being produced along with the sindication. Soon we find Stanley falling into a coma towards a strange city of nightmares where he stays while there. Here is when he comes upon Monkeybone in a seemingly living form who constantly jokes, harasses and generally tries to make it difficult for Stanley's pride to survive in Monkeybone's presence. That's all I'll let you in on but it should set the stage for a great movie. Would I let kids watch it? Not till they were at least 12. Whoopie Goldberg and Kris Kattan make cameo's in it both pretty good. So I would give it the 5 stars it deserves. It is the kind of movie you will never forget.

Summary: The best film in a long time!
Review: This is truly a masterpiece--if you are not a follower of your everyday hollywood fanfare. This is most certainly a cult film, one that very few people will understand. However, for those ready to delve into a whole new relm of moviemaking, this is for you. Beautifully designed and scripted, with a charming cast of characters, Monkeybone is truly a unique film. The only problem this film has was that is wasn't long enough--I could have stood at least another hour! This film is not for children, but it works for the twisted child in all of us!

Summary: Not Tim Burton, but still fun!
Review: Combine Nightmare before Christmas, Pee Wee's Playhouse, and Beetlejuice...what do you get......Monkeybone. A twisted little movie that is unbelievable fun. Effects, Makeup, Sets are all top notch.Truly inspired design and great humor(Kris Kattan will never be funnier than this)! If you are a Tim Burton fan, you will go nuts over this one, but keep in mind he had nothing to do with the project. I understand it didn't do well at the box office, but don't let that make you think that it's because it's a bad movie. That's just because Fox didn't want to advertise for their 80 million dollar feature(yeah, I'm still clueless on that one). I have a feeling this will develop a huge cult following once it's been on DVD/video long enough. I just hope it's in THX with some nice behind the scenes features. And like others have said, IT'S NOT A KIDS MOVIE!!! (12-25 year old range). But it just seems that Woopie Goldberg has a cameo in every movie ever made!

Summary: Hell is watching this film
Review: There's an ongoing phenomena in Hollywood in which the special effects segue from "supporting element" to "center stage" in a film. At this point, it's common for filmmakers to simply bow down (or bend over) in deference to their importance and just let nature take its course. Several factors tend to precede such situations: One is that a "concept" is developed without a story and the story is written in as an afterthought. Another is that an outline is followed by a budget that's spent almost entirely on making the computers do nifty things. The movie then turns out to be 90% video game and 10% movie. The computers seize control. The director is at their mercy. The actors are at their mercy. The writers are at their mercy. This is clearly the case with "Monkeybone." The story? I'll just say that in its attempt to be original, it plunges head first into rip-off country. The only reason Fox even released this thing was in hopes of getting a little bit of money back from the huge cost. This may be the worst film of the 21st century so far.

Summary: Excellent
Review: If you are a Fraser fan you will love this movie! Most say that this is a remake of Cool World and it's content is stale, but Fraser makes this one come to life as Stu, the cartoonist by accident has found himself in a coma. Bridget Fonda adds to this comedy just BY being herself...watch it, love it...Brendan fans...A MUST HAVE FOR ALL OF YOU!!!

Summary: Monkey See, Monkey Do, Monkeybone is hilarious!
Review: When a comic book writer (Fraser) is put into a coma following a car accident, he finds himself waking up in a limbo for people awaiting death, "Down Town". He has to figure out a way to get back in his body before his sister (Mullally) has the plug pulled on him. So... he teams up with his own creation, Monkeybone, in an effort to return to the real world... or are Monkeybone's intentions what he claims?
