Mookie

Watch Mookie (1998) online — a French family comedy directed by Hervé Palud. In Mexico, a monk named Brother Benoit rescues a chimpanzee who, thanks to exposure to a meteor's radiation, can talk and shoot hoops. American researchers want her for their labs, and he has no intention of letting that happen.

Escape means teaming up with Antoine — a down-on-his-luck boxer played by football legend Éric Cantona in a genuine acting role, not a cameo. The problem: Antoine is already on the run from the Mexican mob for refusing to throw a fight. Three mismatched fugitives, one talking chimp, and a tight 87-minute runtime that never overstays its welcome. Watch Mookie (1998) online on iFILM.
