Max Mon Amour

A suspicious husband discovers that the object of his wife's infidelity is none other than a chimpanzee named Max. Not wanting to appear old-fashioned, he invites the simian lover to move in. In his obssession to discover the reason for his wife's attraction to a beast, the husband loses sight of the fact that his own indiscretions and weaknesses are leading him to handle the situation in a most "uncivilised" fashion. Through a series of hilarious episodes about this family and their houseguest, this film provides a satiric window on bourgeois morality.

  Why Oh Why ?
  
  Why did anyone bother with this? It is quite possibly the worst film I have ever seen. Absurd plot, wooden acting and terrible editing.
  
  Avoid.

  This is a bizarre film. Not well acted and not well written but somehow managed to hold my attention all the way through. Rent it only if you need to kill a few... read more »
