The Monkey

I loved the first third, felt let down by the middle, and was disoriented in the last third. 

There were hilarious edits and timing and surrealist lines to kick it off, but it couldn’t sustain that pace and perspective. It had me laughing and grimacing with glee, but left me unfulfilled. 

Elijah Wood should get a whole movie devoted to his character.
