A fun night at the movies

Monkey Love is a well crafted story about a young girl coming to grips with life as an adult. Actually, it's a funny, interesting, even quirky story about compelling people and their romances. The writing and directing are first rate, and performances by Amy Stewart, Jeremy Renner and Seamus Dever reveal new talent bound for bigger things. What a great way to enjoy a night at the movies...making Monkey Love. Even the music is not the usual collection of the first 8 bars of current pop hits. Enjoy.

I liked the movie a lot with a few reservations.

My first impression watching Monkey Love was that the characters were shallow. Based mostly on excessive use of the "F" word, which is a little hard on my sensibilities. Ten minutes into the movie, I was hooked on the frustrations and feelings of young single people trying to cope with mixed emotions. There are a couple of insane characters in the movie and cuts to silent films, leading to a surreal emotional state in the middle of the show. I found the ending completely satisfying. Overall, I liked the film and came away well entertained and felt good.

This was Horrible.

How can anyone say this film is good? It's not even film. It's video. And it sucked. The acting. Directing. Lighting. Everything. No wonder it doesn't have distribution. Everyone...please don't listen to the hype-machine written here, because it's most likely written by crew members from the film. They are lies. This movie screams of student film! DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE!

Bad movie.

Watched it on cable TV in 2020 during covid-19 pandemic. Wasn't sure if this was a student-diploma movie or a "normal" movie.... Either ways it was bad, very poor directed and filmed, very poor acting. It lacked on so many levels that I am wondering how even they let this movie hit the public? It brings nothing to the film arts.

I was amazed when discovered this movie was filmed in 2002, it looked like an early 70's movie. Jeremy Renner looked like he's 18 y.o. in this one, but he is 31. lol

It was bad, but I've seen worse. My rating 2/10.

Strangely good.

Hmm.. A crazy film,.. music, editing, everything.. There were few moments when I wanted to fast forward but when the closing credits rolled I was smiling. A silly, light fun.
