Monkeybone Ratings & Reviews
- Rob MacKinnon17 January 2026This movie is saved in the third act when Chris Kattan shows up and gives one of the greatest physical comedy performances I have ever seen. Also, I miss Bridget Fonda in movies.
- David2Play21 November 2025Good effects for the time, nostalgic with flaws
- ርልዪረ7 February 2025This movie is for entertainment and was very surreal, it had some sort of Tim Burton's Stylish that it reminded me of him. Sure it had few mistakes, but considered this movie an entertainment film, I have seen a lot of bad movies and I know which ones are bad, this film wasn't. For a 2001 film it's really good if you think about it. I give this movie a 8/10
- NonPlayableContent28 September 2025Took risks to tell an above average and interesting story. I cant believe it hasnt gained a bigger fandom. There are even small things to be gained from rewatching and it will grow into a comfort movie.
