I just saw the reviews on Meet the Spartans, The Comebacks and SuperBad. Those movies are kind of R-like rated movies. They were intended to entertain.I looked up this movie, just to see if people with "common sense" would refer to it, as a family cute comedy. But no, again, I'll say it, "Tom Hanks" isn't in it. His boring movie "Big" is a classic and in a shrine. Boring as it was back in the 80's and even now.This movie, caught my attention as a kid, due to a main character, a monkey. The movie had a perfect cast. I've gotten my friends started on this movie and they agree, "wonderful family comedy". It is made in the mid to late 80's, so for a funny clean hearted movie, how can any "loser" find anything negative about it. That's right, no Tom Hanks.The same people who have said negative things about each and every good comedy I liked believed that Will middle age Ferrell is funny. When he's not funny but annoying looking. His movies are considered good, but why? If you can find this movie on DVD, but it asap, "absolute classic".

I was watching TV one day with a friend and we caught the last twenty minutes of "Going Bananas." Believe me when I say it was enough to get a good judgment of the film. The first scene that I saw was the monkey, the kid, the fat guy, and the black guy who looked like Dave Chappelle, flying around in a crop duster thousands of feet in the air. While everyone else was solemn about the journey, the monkey seemed to be on some kind of drug binge where he kept shouting something that resembled the English word faster. They then landed on a twenty yard long dock in Africa. After a heart felt goodbye where the monkey cried (Hahahaha), the "villains" of the film appeared. They were tearing complete ass in their vintage Cadillac when the evil monkey took an Air Jordan leap form the dock onto the boat that was sailing away a clean 40 yards away and made them sink their beautiful car into the Pacific Ocean. After seeing this film, I have a new purpose in life; to find the midget who played the monkey and stab him in the eye with a fountain pen.

I must admit: I only caught the last 5 minutes on HBO, but from what I could see, it appeared to not only be one of the greatest films cinema has ever borne witness to in all of human history, but the greatest film cinema has ever borne witness to in all of history by about a trillion times the next closest movie. I was thoroughly entertained,and I felt a special link to the comedic monkey: his tears, and his triumphs. The classic elements of great cinema were all present: inept monkey-nabbers, emotional drama, boy/monkey love, and, of course, a melon-lobbing money named Bonzo. To reiterate: wowie zowie. Wowie zowie.

This movie was AWESOME !! It was so ridiculous. I LOVE BEN & BONZO !!!! How could you not love that adorable ape?? And what about Ben??? He and Bonzo really made a nice pair!!I recommend that you DONT let your kids watch this movie as it is too violent! You don't want your little one to be influenced by this banana throwing ape! I can see it now, you are in a nice restaurant and your little tike jumps up on the tables and starts launching bananas at the waiter!!!!Hope you all enjoyed this creative flick as much as I did! It is a CLASSIC !!
