Disappointing

Rating: Null/10 (13 May 2002)

The title promises so much, yet the film delivers so little. I was
expecting, given the title, something along the lines of a Lancelot
Link, Secret Chimp, re-telling of the Last Supper, or a related
Jesus story. But instead the film holds off on real monkeys until
the very end, and even then, it's a case of too little, too late.
Perhaps if the budget had been larger, we would have more
footage of monkeys, instead of Gilliam's cheap substitute -
stylised "graffiti"-art versions of man's closest and most humorous
relative. If you are interested in primates, then this is a film to
avoid at all costs.
