He then stumbles off the bed where Julie accidentally kicks him in the head, knocking him even more silly.

In an animated Monkeybone cartoon, a boy protagonist informs us (via voice over narration) that the flapping folds of skin hanging from his old school teacher's arms caused him to feel "oddly aroused." Sex/Nudity As he performs the song "Brick House," Stu (still "possessed" by Monkeybone) dances on stage with some buxom women wearing short and tight fitting dresses. He then looks down to his clothed crotch and quickly puts books there to cover his apparent erection. Just as the music reaches its crescendo, we hear a simian SCREECH.

Mild })(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga'); CAST, CREW, & TECHNICAL INFO ROSE McGOWAN plays a voluptuous and somewhat sensuous waitress in Downtown who helps Stu and dresses in a cat motif. Stu's car goes out of control in reverse when an inflatable toy jams him and Julie up against the windshield. FRIGHTENING SCENES m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m) The following is a brief summary of the content found in this PG-13 rated comedy. In an animated Monkeybone cartoon, a boy protagonist informs us (via voice over narration) that the flapping folds of skin hanging from his old school teacher's arms caused him to feel "oddly aroused." Monkeybone mentions something that his next impersonation (of a Marilyn Monroe type character) is going to "spike" something and then makes his monkey tail go straight out like an erection. Stu tells Kitty that the woman he's in love with (Julie) is living with a horny monkey that looks like him (Monkeybone), causing Kitty to reply, "Lucky woman. Moments later, another odd creature asks Stu if he has a smoke on him (he doesn't), and a miscellaneous character smokes in a bar. Kimmy has a cigarette in one scene, while a bizarre creature in Downtown holds a cigar and mentions something about it being a Cuban. As a song with the lyrics, "Making love to you, is all I want to do" plays, Stu goes to kiss the ape, but only so that he can grab the nightmare formula from it. Stu then tells Kitty that he'll be right back "after I choke my monkey" (double entendre for actual choking and masturbation although only the former is intended). While his manager, Herb (DAVID FOLEY), wants to market the Monkeybone franchise as much as possible, Stu wants to keep things simple.

GIANCARLO ESPOSITO plays the half man, half goat ruler of Downtown who uses Stu and his goals for his own self-gratifying purposes.

This occurs as the song "Let's get it on" plays on the soundtrack, and then switches to a Hendrix song (that includes lines about being a sweet little lover maker) as Stu swings around the bedposts and then hangs from them above Julie. Wondering if Monkeybone is OK for your kids? In an animated Monkeybone cartoon, we see several cartoon boys pounding nails into the narrator boy's head. Hypnos strikes Stu's head like a golf ball with a golf club (we don't see the impact) during a dream. 'Monkeybone': A Descent Into Unconsciousness, as Freud Might Tell It . As the body adjusts the neck, we hear various bone breaking/cracking sounds.

Stu pounds on some sort of crystal ball type orb (trying to get Julie's attention) and breaks some of it. Hypnos then shows up and tells him that they didn't send him up top to "shake your booty with a bunch of lingerie babes.". It's possible some viewers could find a scene where two men hang from ropes dangling from a large, parade-like float as tense.

Bracing the body's floppy spinal column with a T-square and masking tape, Stu the cadaver rushes off to foil Monkeybone and re-establish himself with Julie. The presence of an animated monkey and Brendan Fraser (of "George of the Jungle" fame) may entice many younger kids to this film, while some teens may find the concept somewhat intriguing to them. Since his body is already in use by Monkeybone, he commandeers a cadaver (Mr. Kattan) in the midst of having its high-priced The cartoon creation come to life, Monkeybone, is a constant irritant to Stu (whether in the form of the monkey or later when controlling his body) and acts childish and/or makes lewd comments.

Stu's initial roller coaster like ride down into Downtown and then his encounters with various odd and fantastical creatures might be a bit unsettling or scary to some younger kids (as might the brief sight of old film footage of movie characters screaming on TV). Monkeybone hits Stu over the head with a large wrench, knocking him unconscious. After Monkeybone has returned to the world of the living inside Stu's human body, he looks down at his crotch in a hospital bed, and then smiles and clasps his hands together in joy (apparently seeing that he now has genitals). Then a car crash lands Stu in a coma, and he and Monkeybone plunge into a brawling netherworld called Downtown. Kimmy seems overly anxious to pull the plug on her brother while he's in a coma and on life support. Mild Tense FamilyScenes

Kimmy briefly mentions that her father died a long death and that she and Stu don't want that to happen to them (which is why she wants to pull the life support plug on him). We see a needle go into a neck (but beyond the brief penetration it isn't particularly gory/graphic). "Damn you, dead man," "Shut up" and "Smart ass.". While hanging from ropes attached to a large inflatable float figure, Stu (inside a corpse) smacks into the front of a bus. As they then chase that corpse, a person on a gurney is knocked to the floor. From that point on, and after being placed in the organ donor body of a dead gymnast (CHRIS KATTAN), Stu does what he can to stop his creation from doing all of that.

In reality, and as a result, Stu suddenly falls from bed and has a bit of a bloody nose.

Stu throws a martini glass at Monkeybone while irritated at him.

Various characters appear frightened and run away in Downtown when an agent of death shows up.
