When I read the thread title I thought this must surely be a joke.

Nope, obviously not

Hahahaha. My old flat mate (He's 22) loves this film and I have worked it into my Raw Comedy routine. I can't believe it has other fans over the age of 8.

What's the name of the movie where Bill Murray goes on holiday with his shrink?

It was one of my favourites.

When I was ten.

I'm still firmly of the opinion that 'Dunston Checks In' is a comedic masterpiece.

Anyone agree?

Agreed. I had it on tape for years actually. :p

Saw it again the other day on Foxtel and it still just as good.

Got to love the intro music. ;)

I saw another monkey film while at some hotel somewhere (I can't remember which country), it was about a boy who went to Africa with Dom Delouise and met Jimmy Walker (DYN-O-MITE!) and found a talking monkey that an evil general and a circus owner wanted to get their hands on.

It was quite possibly the worst thing I have ever slumped in front of for an extended period of time. Yes, that's right I watched most of it.

Incidentally, this channel was showing a bunch of monkey films into the lead up to premiering the 2005 King Kong later in the week. A task that would involve also airing monkey staples such as the one where Matt LeBlanc plays second banana to a monkey, 'Buddy' and 'Mighty Joe Young'. I didn't see them all.

On further research -

Going Bananas (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093098/)

Might be your cup of tea Nip/Tuck?

Both truly classic movies.
