Critics' reviews

"There's unwieldy mess -- but there's also unruly brilliance to this dark and funny story"

Lisa Schwarzbaum: Entertainment Weekly
"Wildly uneven collage of effects and live action (...) There's enough Freudian material to reupholster a thousand therapy couches"

Susan Wloszczyna: USA Today
"Grand fantasy, in which Brendan Fraser and stylish design and energetic special effects play off one another for maximum fun"

Kevin Thomas: Los Angeles Times
"Too grotesque for children and just too silly for their parents"

Mick LaSalle: San Francisco Chronicle
"Although Monkeybone will undoubtedly make you laugh at its slapstick highjinks, the irony is that for a movie that's ultimately about soul, that's the one commodity that's in precious short supply up on the screen"

Michael O'Sullivan: The Washington Post
"The movie never takes off; it's a bright idea the filmmakers were unable to breathe life into"

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
