YMMV / Monkeybone

• Awesome Music: The dark, dreary version of "Love Is a Drug" by Lisa Zane that plays at Hypnos' party is an interesting cover of the song.
• He Really Can Act: Chris Kattan, who convincingly does a Brendan Fraser impression — and is convincing as a jelly-limbed corpse, too.
• Humor Dissonance: Stu's Monkeybone cartoon is in-universe praised as a stroke of comedic genius that is sure to become a merchandising giant, but to most viewers it just comes across as like a really low-effort Gross-Out Show and the shtick of the Monkeybone character himself appears to be that he constantly displays annoyingly hyperactive and sleazy behavior and engages in not particularly funny impersonations.
• Retroactive Recognition: While Giancarlo Esposito wasn't quite unknown in 2001 or unexpected given his top-billed role of Hypnos, Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul fans may be surprised to recognize Bob Odenkirk as the head surgeon who chases after the Stu-possessed organ donor.
• Spiritual Successor: Considered as such towards Cool World, as both movies had a plot where the creator's creation turns against them (Monkeybone and Holli Would). However...
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: Imagine if Cool World had better visuals, but made even less sense.
• Visual Effects of Awesome: The stop motion is easily the best thing about the movie.
