Critics Consensus: Though original and full of bizarre visuals, Monkeybone is too shapeless a movie, with unengaging characters and random situations that fail to build up laughs.

It’s a lot of fun, even though it’s so damn weird at times I’m glad I didn’t see this as a kid so it wouldn’t give me uncontrollable nightmares. Brendan Fraser gives a delightful performance in the kind of role only he could really pull off.

Monkeybone doesn't make a lot of sense, and, worse, makes little creative use of the contrast between animation and action.

It is a puzzling melange of live action and cartoon, real life and fantasy that is almost stupefyingly incoherent.
