Operation C.H.I.M.P

I have never in my life seen a movie so well spliced together from b-roll of historical footage. The acting was very solid and comically dry in a way that makes it feel like you're actually watching a true to life documentary. Most importantly though, they taught a monkey to smoke dang cigarettes. Definitely worth the watch.

I love the concept of this mocumentary. It really felt like it was a true story at some points! It had some very funny jokes and a very funny cast! It is a good time all around!

Operation CHIMP is a mockumentary that uncovers the plot of a bumbling CIA to create a mind control program by training a world class circus monkey. The movie is hilarious and packed with enough jokes to make it worth rewatching to catch them all. The plot is engaging and makes you want to keep watching to find out what is going to happen to Chop Chop Chang. I think anyone who likes goofy comedies or light-hearted spy movies will love this movie!

Nice idea, poor over-the-top execution. Loads of hysterically edited archive material. Poor acting. Not funny. Avoid.

A ton of visual effects and editing went into this, you'd be surprised what you could do with archival footage and a team of funny actors and improvisers, it makes for an actually hilarious mockumentary about something that actually happened, with a good script that goes decade-by-decade and intersplices presidential footage, with an adorable animal, the chimpanzee.
