Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Flipped over to this and was immediately floored. This was a bunch of out-of-context shots of various monkeyshines happening in Thailand overlayed somewhat with the plot from Romeo and Juliet. Regardless of the created plot, the viewer learns a lot about this particular urban monkey environment. The editing and music are fantastic, including high-tension action scenes that hearken toward summer blockbuster movies. The narration is pretty good but with a lot of groan-worthy Shakespeare puns (that have their own worth in a low-comedy way.) Overall, a very original take on the standard nature documentary, with thrills, ups, downs, crying, laughing, the whole bit. The narrator was excellent but I couldn't help wonder why they didn't go with a more Shakespearian British accent. Probably, that doesn't really matter. Highly enjoyable, and kudos to whoever greenlit this as it's quite daring. It is hilariously influenced by Baz Lurman's Romeo + Juliet. Five stars without even thinking about it. Extremely entertaining.

In the mountains of Thailand, two young monkeys from rival factions are falling in love. This is the story of their lives, as the two groups of the local simian population declare war to keep them apart. A familiar story with a wild twist.
