People whose Chinese Zodiac sign is the Monkey are complicated individuals. Monkeys thrive on having fun. Monkeys are filled to the brim with energy and always looking to have a good time. Though they can often be considered selfish as they tend to be very focused on self.
When it comes to films, Monkeys can have a complex taste. On the one hand, they like to have fun, that’s why they enjoy comedic films and sitcoms. On the other hand, they also tend to be highly intelligent, and while they’re open to a lot of premises, if a movie takes it too far, they lose their belief and interest in it. Here are 5 comedy movies Monkeys will love and 5 they will hate.
Will Love: Onward
Monkeys are generally playful creatures, and as such, they enjoy films about people similar to them. The fantasy movie Onward focuses on two brothers. The younger, Ian, is more serious, but the older Barley lives in his head, has a rich imagination and likes to have fun. Monkeys will most likely enjoy Barley’s sense of adventure, and the subsequent quest the two brothers undertake, which is filled with hilarious moments.
Will Hate: Not Another Teen Movie
Monkeys aren’t the easiest of viewers and it can sometimes be difficult to make them happy. They’re accustomed to certain standards, and while they’re able to accept a lot, they almost always require the films they watch to be intelligent. Therefore, they often aren’t that big about parodies, especially if they lack sense. Not Another Teen Movie is the type of film Monkey might watch, but won’t be coming back to.
Will Love: Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World
Nothing is impossible for the Monkeys. They thrive in bizarre situations, whether those situations happen to them or other people. That’s why they might enjoy the 2010 comedy Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. In order to get the girl he loves, Scott Pilgrim has to defeat her seven dangerous exes, sometimes in combats, sometimes in a different way. This is exactly the type of crazy humor a Monkey would love.
Will Hate: The Nutty Professor
Monkeys love humorous situations, but they also have an acquired taste and often prefer more accomplished forms of humor over the basic ones. The Nutty Professor uses the type of humor based on farting and highly embarrassing situations, which will most likely not fit Monkeys.
Monkeys may look distracted and absentminded at times, but they require films that challenge them, and The Nutty Professor won’t do that.
Will Love: Back To The Future
Another positive trait of Monkeys is their natural curiosity and intelligence. You can be certain that Monkey will always be trying to learn more. And the sci-fi comedy trilogy Back to the Future is all about learning more, discovering the unknown and the unexpected, since its heroes travel through time and experience many memorable adventures.
Will Hate: Scary Movie
It’s already been mentioned above that Monkeys can prefer films with a bit more substance to them. If they get bored by the sheer silliness of what they’re seeing, they can easily start nitpicking at it. The Scary Movie franchise contains a lot of moments that are non-sensical, and they give a lot of ammunition to any Monkey who will notice everything that’s wrong about the films’ plot and the characters’ behavior.
Will Love: Knives Out
A Monkey will never stay still for long. If you choose someone born in this sign for a companion, you’ll never be bored. Monkeys love to crack mysteries, double so if the mysteries are tinged with humor.
That’s a perfect description of the recent movie Knives Outwhich is focused on solving a mysterious death, while it lets the viewers meet an extraordinary and eccentric family.
Will Hate: The Mask
There’s a fine line between craziness and insanity. Monkeys enjoy crazy comedies because they tend to be playful people, but they still need to form an emotional connection with the heroes or at least one of them. However, it’s difficult to do that with The Mask, since its hero, while brilliantly portrayed by Jim Carey, is as far away from realistic as they go.
Will Love: Birds Of Prey
Monkeys are flexible people. They don’t mind crossing between genres – in fact, they love movies that do it. Birds of Prey combines action and humor since it’s about Harley Quinn and her merry band of superheroes. The movie is colorful, fast-paced, funny, and slightly insane, which is a combination of traits that will sit closely with Monkeys.
Will Hate: Meet The Parents
If you want to watch a family comedy with your friend or a relative who’s a Monkey, you shouldn’t choose this on. While Meet the Parents doesn’t have a bad idea, and its plot works, somewhat at least, it’s too absurd for any Monkey who will most likely eventually just lose interest. Plus, some of the film’s jokes are too much for the intelligent Monkeys who don’t like it when films’ heroes act like silly people.
