I don’t know who Robbie Williams is….

What’s the monkey got to do with this???

Robbie Williams is an egotistical, overrated ex boy-band singer. The film looks bloody daft. A friend saw it and tried to explain it to me. Still sounded like bollocks. 😁

It's a bad conceit!

troyneliousq.bsky.social•44 days ago

It’s pretty much the joke. Robbie Williams is “soccer famous” so they’re having some fun with that by making him a monkey in his own movie since “nobody” knows who he is anyway.

taylordauthor.bsky.social•44 days ago

It’s a very stupid idea with failure built in.

seanred94.bsky.social•44 days ago

Low critic approval but super high audience approval. Make of that what you will.

taylordauthor.bsky.social•44 days ago

He does have a huge fan base.

Others may have enjoyed the movie far more without the stupidity.

seanred94.bsky.social•44 days ago

From what I'm gauging, he's naturally getting more plaudits from UK fans as we know who he is. Everyone I've seen talking about their viewing experience is saying it's a fantastic film, though.

Maybe American audiences need to overlook their biases and see it, haha

taylordauthor.bsky.social•44 days ago

It is done extremely well but I still think it’s weird in a not so good way.

seanred94.bsky.social•44 days ago

I haven't seen it yet. I'm not sure I'll get to while it's in cinemas as I've still not had a chance to see Nosferatu, and The Wolfman is out on Friday.

I remember seeing the trailer months ago for it at a different viewing and thinking it would surprise people. It looked a great prospect.

This did not clarify it for me lol

chrissysticks.bsky.social•43 days ago

He's an English pop star from the 90s.

I only know of him because I watched Derry Girls ALOT! Lol

alexandragg.bsky.social•43 days ago

Lmao I feel like….this content just wasn’t for me and I should’ve minded my business

Huge in Aus and NZ too.

opaleyedbetty.bsky.social•44 days ago

He's quite popular in the UK and is another of those former boyband guys with a huge ego. The monkey is because he feels "less evolved" than other humans which is. I guess an idea

sherhyse.bsky.social•44 days ago

A singer who thinks it’s funny he slept around with his fans so much he still has std’s…
Music isn’t bad tho. Very white British

I know he's a singer, and that's it.

gee-emm.bsky.social•44 days ago

That's pushing it a bit. 😁

fino76.bsky.social•43 days ago

He’s only sold 75,000,000+ albums as a solo artist.

quasifabulous.bsky.social•44 days ago

I know who Robbie Williams is and I’m not clear on what the monkey has to do with it

haileyisheretostay.bsky.social•44 days ago

I have a couple of Robbie Williams CDs somewhere and Rock DJ is still a bop.

I, too, have no idea what the monkey is about.

jwilliamharrison.bsky.social•44 days ago

The film tells the life story of pop singer Robbie Williams, but with Williams portrayed as a CG-animated anthropomorphic chimpanzee because, as he puts it, he always felt "less evolved than other people."

ktenpas.bsky.social•44 days ago

He sang Angels back in 1997

dorkyjanell.bsky.social•44 days ago

He felt like a singing/dancing monkey during his career and they decided to go with that and make him a literal singing/dancing monkey in the film about himself.

dorkyjanell.bsky.social•44 days ago

I am a fan of some his music. His version of the song Something Stupid with Nicole Kidman is a personal fave

sylphanne.bsky.social•44 days ago

I really liked his song “Rock DJ” but outside of that I didn’t listen to his music. I know he’s beloved by the Brits.

(Don’t let them see this and come after you…)

finalgirlboss.bsky.social•44 days ago

I love that song! Millennium was hugely popular on the radio too.

reformedcam.bsky.social•44 days ago

The monkey tho? Maybe he’s back on the narcotics

reformedcam.bsky.social•44 days ago

He was *kinda* famous over here for 5 minutes or so… in the late 90s or early 00s. Still a big ass deal over in the UK.

Was in a British boy band to start his career I think?

aureliaaurelia.bsky.social•43 days ago
