Unfunny comedy about a cartoonist who is injured into a coma, descends into a hellish netherworld, meets his creation (Monkeybone) and spends most of the movie trying to return to earth, recover from his coma, and reunite with his girlfriend. Brendan Fraser plays the cartoonish Stu Miley, Bridget Fonda his girlfriend Dr Julie McElroy - concocter of some kind of nightmare juice - Whoopi Goldberg plays Death and John Turturro supplies the voice of the ingratiatingly annoying Monkeybones. The place Miley ends up in his a transit point, apparently between life and death that those on the cusp visit. It's gigged out like a weird carnival and populated by a bunch of puppets and CG animated creatures. Inhabitants - piano playing blue elephants, seductive half-bees/half women - amuse themselves by watching other peoples' nightmares. Some of the inhabitants get a ticket home, some are carted down below. Together Miley and Monkeybone concoct a plan to steal a ticket, which is in turn stolen by Monkeybone - the little rapscallion - who takes over the out-of-the-coma body of the earth Stu Miley. So the premise has the screwball monkey enter the body of vanilla bland cartoonish. The only part about MONKEYBONE I enjoyed - the etherworld stuff was slow moving and suffering from CGI toxicity - the only part I enjoyed was watching Brendan Fraser play the monkeybone possessed recoveree. He had a nice feel for goofy physical humor. Beyond that, the plot stunk, spent way too much time in the animatronic freak house, Bridget Fonda was wasted as the girl friend. Most of the gags are pretty flat, though Fraser especially, and Fonda when the script allows, do their best. Watched some of the deleted scenes on the dvd, as well as some clips on the tricks that animated Monkeybone. Passed on the director's commentary track. Ninety minutes with this one was more than long enough.
