It could have been better, but their is still some laughs......, 13 May 2006

Author: niulii_01 from United States

i am one who has watched "Going Bananas", and frankly i didn't think it was awful!!!! it may not have been the best comedy in the world I agree, but when children watch it as I have, they do not understand a better comedy, but simply enjoy the activities of the monkey which I am sure puts a smile on their face. I too have laughed at the simple gestures, sounds, and of course majority of the skits. In truth a lot of people may find it awful because compared to so many movies that are made now, its screen looks generic.. It looks like you made it in the back yard, but honestly a movie started somewhere, and somehow, and what do you expect? it was a movie made a long time ago!
