Movie ReviewsHa, a very interesting nature doc(?) Ross Morrison | Brooklyn, New York | 06/27/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "Flipped over to this and was immediately floored. This was a bunch of out-of-context shots of various monkeyshines happening in Thailand overlayed somewhat with the plot from Romeo and Juliet. Regardless of the created plot, the viewer learns a lot about this particular urban monkey environment. The editing and music are fantastic, including high-tension action scenes that hearken toward summer blockbuster movies. The narration is pretty good but with a lot of groan-worthy Shakespeare puns (that have their own worth in a low-comedy way.) Overall, a very original take on the standard nature documentary, with thrills, ups, downs, crying, laughing, the whole bit. The narrator was excellent but I couldn't help wonder why they didn't go with a more Shakespearian British accent. Probably, that doesn't really matter. Highly enjoyable, and kudos to whoever greenlit this as it's quite daring. It is hilariously influenced by Baz Lurman's Romeo + Juliet. Five stars without even thinking about it. Extremely entertaining." Classic tale, told with tails. Eric Oconnor | Sunnyvale, California. | 01/01/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) " The story unfolds at the Prang Sam Yot temple in Lopburi, Thailand. The 1080 HD resolution captures every detail of the historic landmark which makes the setting a visual delight. The soundtrack and editing are top-notch, so much that you are left scratching your head at the end of the film, wondering in in fact if you just watched monkies perform Shakespeare. (Crab-eating Macaque are not an endangered species for those that care) You won't regret buying this for yourself or as a gift. Much like "The Gods Must Be Crazy" you watch in delight while a story unfolds starring non-actors who are brilliant at what they do. " Great, Enjoyable Movie Curmudgeon99 | Manhattan, NY | 02/18/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is interesting in that the movie overlays the story of Romeo and Juliet--mostly--on the lives of two troops of wild monkeys. A great and enjoyable movie for people who don't even watch the Animal Planet. This is also fairly safe for kids--there is one scene of monkeys doing the nasty. But that's only for about 5 seconds."
