Monkey Business

• Comedy

A delightfully absurd screwball comedy, *Monkey Business* explores the anxieties of aging through a literal reversion to youthful exuberance – and all the chaos that entails. Chemist Barnaby Fulton's quest for a rejuvenation serum yields unexpectedly hilarious results when a chimpanzee inadvertently perfects the formula, leading to a cascade of childlike behavior amongst those who imbibe it. The film’s humor isn’t simply slapstick; it’s rooted in a playful deconstruction of societal expectations around maturity and a surprisingly tender examination of a marriage rekindled through shared regression. It’s a whimsical descent into playful anarchy, rejecting the seriousness of scientific pursuits in favor of joyful, chaotic liberation.
