Going Ape!

I couldn't believe my eyes when I discovered they finally put this on Blu Ray. I recorded it from cable in the 80s and wore that tape out. Haven't seen it since. This is the epitome of 80s comedies. Put your brain on hold and just flow with the story. I haven't laughed this hard since before the pandemic started. It probably won't fly with those who are expecting something profound. If the idea of an orangutan bitch slapping a bumbling criminal makes you smile, you won't be disappointed.

Wow. It seems like if you see this movie, you will either absolutely hate it, or absolutely love it! The movie had an interesting dynamic. It was hard to determine exactly what category this movie was meant for. It seemed to be targeted more towards kids with all of the high-jinks and buffoonery, but then there was far too much swearing in it to let kids watch.

I let my 10 and 8 year old brother and sister watch it, and they loved it! I watched it for Tony Danza, who was still very green at the time, but still managed to pull it off. Danny DeVito was brilliant, like always, and I would recommend you keep an open mind if you plan on watching this movie.

Bad film! Bad, bad film! Not a so-bad-it's-funny movie, just a lousy excuse to put something on celluloid. I'm not sure why this was made; maybe it was a contractual obligation. Inept in every way. How absolutely embarrassing for Devito and Danza. I'm sorry I am forced to type "ten lines" in order to have my comments posted, as this film doesn't warrant such attention. Ho, ho - nuns and monkeys, what could be funnier? Think of what Paramount could have used this money for, instead of putting out something my four-year-old nephew described as "stupid." .

i loved this movie, i first saw it when i was five, now fifteen years it's just as funny as it was the first time. i own the video, and i have the original poster framed on my bedroom wall. this one the best "ape" films out there.

Going Ape is one of best movies ever made. I believe people should reevaluate their vote on this fine movie. If anybody loves to watch a butch of crazy apes that are constantly getting into mischief, this is the movie for you!!!
