Funky Monkey

In all my years of critiqeing other people's works I have never come across a film without fault, but Funky Monkey has changed my perspective on the media of film forever. -Martin Scorcassie

Me and my kids love this movie. We watch it every time I have custody. The monkeys great. The acting superb. And WHEW the sec appeal!!! My little kiddos want t be just like the main character when they grow up. They're always screeching and biting all the neighbors :). If you're not okay with a bit of gore and adult themes, this movie may not be for you. I don't want to give any spoilers, but the meat grinder scene did give little Olivia nightmares for weeks.... But overall, GREAT movie. WOULD recommend if you're looking to instill some good communist values in your youngins.

After reading the other reviews, most of which contain some serious sarcasm, let me give you my honest opinion of the film, Funky Monkey.

The film is not to entertain adults. The acting is beyond cheesy, the lines try to be funny but fail horrible. The monkey doesn't do much, there's isn't a heartwarming story like MVP. When the chimp does do some fighting scenes its very obvious that there is a stunt man. Everything about the movie is very unrealistic and childish. It's a good movie to entertain young kids, who don't realize quality difference in movies yet. To summaries, Funky Monkey is a cheap film about a fighting monkey, his fighting companion and of course a boy.

When I sat down to watch "Funky Monkey" with the family, I must admit that I didn't have any particular expectations to the movie, given the synopsis. But it turned out that "Funky Monkey" was actually a rather funny and entertaining movie for being a family movie and all.

The story is about a top secret program to develop super soldiers from monkeys. Yeah, I know. But when the main chimpanzee escapes captivity with help from his trainer, things change dramatically as both trainer and chimpanzee have to find places in life outside the research facility.

There is an abundance of hilarious scenes throughout the movie, which had the entire family laughing loudly many times. So the enjoyment factor of "Funky Monkey" is rather big if you sit down as as family to watch the movie.

Now, the chimpanzee did perform quite well in its scenes, but there were some fighting scenes where it was just gut-awful obvious that it was a man in a chimpanzee costume trying to pass for a monkey.

There are a couple of familiar faces on the cast list, which includes Matthew Modine, Taylor Negron, Gilbert Gottfried, Fred Ward and Jeffrey Tambor. The hired cast were performing well with their given roles and characters, taking the storyline into consideration.

All in all, then "Funky Monkey" is an enjoyable movie for the entire family.

In my limited time on this earth i have found it difficult to find meaning in life. but thanks to this groundbreaking and life changing cinema masterpiece. i can without a doubt say i have finally found meaning. and that meaning is sitting in my room with a cd of Funky Monkey playing over and over until i pass out from exhaustion by just watching this beautiful film. i just wanted to thank the directors of this a movie for changing my life and i will never be the same. stay funky.
