An evil circus owner chases a chimp and his friends through Africa. Not necessarily 'Dyn-O-Mite!', but this silly monkey business is decent family fun.

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Best movie ever!
Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
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 !!
A good friend of mine one said: "A monkey is funny, anytime, anywhere." There is one exception to this: GOING BANANAS. It is quite simply the WORST MOVIE I have ever seen. It's worse than PLAN 9, worse than THE BEAST OF YUCCA FLATS. It is TERRIBLE. The talking monkey gag gets old after about three minutes, and believe me that's all there is. Make sure you have a bunch of people around to revive you after you go into TOXIC SHOCK from GOING BANANAS, the worst movie ever.
