The Mrs doubtfire reboot fucking slaps.
So you’re telling me this isn’t a planet of the apes movie? And that’s not Andy Serkis??? I feel misled.
For days every time I’ve seen something about this I’ve vaguely thought “Robin Williams” then scrolled past and did something else.
Why is Robbie Williams a monkey I don’t get it
This movie is about that Gorillaz band right?
I get un-imaginably confused when I think about the fact that there’s someone out there paid 20x more than me to make mind bogglingly stupid decisions about what kinds of movies to make and advertise.
I didn’t know who this guy was, but I wanted to see it, just because, I wanted to see what the hell they were doing. The movie actually kind of slaps. It’s a strange musical fantasy, it’s absolutely bonkers, with some incredible music and acting, and the monkey thing absolutely works for the movie, it’s nuts and I loved it.
I was getting confused as why everyone seemed to act like they have never seen fucking jumanji, and then realised it’s not Robin, it’s Robbie….
Who the fuck is Robbie Williams
I’m 99% sure that the only reason they made Robbie Williams a chimpanzee was because Kingdom of the POTA was pretty successful and the studio was just like “I guess people want more monkey movies”
“With your voice and that monkey, I’m going to see you and relate to you in a way that is going to be more engaging than yet another musical biopic,”
They’re absolutely right. With the average movie goer having around the intelligence of an adult chimp, this movie will speak to them on a different level.

What makes ya think i wanna see original movies? I’m waiting for Dune 3, Superman the 10th reboot, and another Batman and Joker movie.
I saw a poster and I thought that monkey was Caesar from the planet of the apes…
I’m not gonna lie I’m surprised they haven’t done Kurt cobain yet
The only thing I know about Robbie Williams from what people have said, myself included, is that he’s a complete and total twat.
Y’know even if people in America knew who this guy was, I’m not sure audiences really want to see a biopic where the lead is depicted as an uncanny CGI chimp flailing around? Like fundamentally it’s difficult to get over just how much that spoils the appeal.
i’m kinda glad this is flopping. i was annoyed at all the Europeans being condescending when people would tell them Paramounts decision seemed weird, since nobody in America seems to know this dude.
they’d play the whole ‘Typical Murican mindsets thinking your country is the only one that matters. Us *cultured* people from *cultured* countries all love Robbie Williams!’ while ignoring the point of ‘Okay but Paranount paid like A LOT to release it in america though.’
like. yea. it flopped. just like everyone tried to say when it was getting advertised at us as absolute fucking *nonsense* because it looks more recognizable as a planet of the apes spinoff than a popstar biopic to us burgerlanders.
I am so sick of seeing this Imaginarium Coldplay monkey motion capture bullshit.
This is why Star Trek Lower Decks got cancelled nerds! For this! Every streaming service crying about going bankrupt while overpaying morons to cancel every well liked show so they can then just overpay for straight shit like this. This and Section 31. And whatever prequel Taylor Sheridan shits out next.
And to all the Brits out there bemoaning US uncultured swine, we fucking take the things we like from your island. We take your actors and musicians or we remake your stuff with our actors and musicians. Robbie Williams clearly deserved neither. Get back to making things like the Beatles and The Office if you want us to care!
I hate every ape I see, from chimpan a to chimpanzee
I liked this film.
They’re just setting up side characters for the Music Biopic Cinematic Universe crossover event.
Bob Dylan, Dewey Cox, Nina Simone, The Runaways, Robbie Williams, Bruce Springsteen (2025 biopic), The Beatles, and NWA from Straight Outta Compton. NWA’s bringing along Paul Giamatti, too.
Spice World 2 would have done a lot better.
Who the fucks paid $580,000 for this
I genuinely have no idea why this movie exists. Like, the concept of a Lego biopic is at least kinda interesting, like that allows you to do some interesting visual gags or whatever, but this? from everything I know it seems like this is just a regular-ass musician biopic except they put a CGI chimp over his face.
Like, ok? he’s a chimp now. What the hell do you do with that? what is this supposed to add to the movie?
I’m so confused by all the aggression toward this movie online (this thread included). I guess the trailer is a bit annoying if you see it more than once (like the Argyle trailer)? Seemed like a somewhat novel spin on well-trodden music biopic ground, but as an American, I wasn’t particularly interested in Robbie Williams. But definitely doesn’t warrant any of the vitriol. Supposedly a decent movie judging by the reviews.
Oh is it for children? Like “Sing” where all the animals sing pop hits?
Oh it’s about the famously hairy comedian Robin Williams? Is that why there’s a monkey in it?
Oh it’s about this incredibly famous foreigner who’s a massive hit in his own country and everyone in every generation loves him?
Oh it’s about an actual monkey that sings?
Oh it’s a cutting satire of modern life/politics/the music industry?
Oh this was a massive hit in Europe and hit #1 for months, everyone is talking about it?
(answer is hard NO to all of those)
GENTLEMEN FOR SOME REASON WE ARE STRUGGLING WITH ALL FOUR QUADRANTS!!!
I legit thought this sub made up a meme movie but no it’s actually real. They should do one for Jack Black next where he’s portrayed by a panda and maybe he knows kung fu for some reason.
