All in all

Pics: from beginning to end.

("Uh, you want to see which movie?" to "We're really going to see this absurd movie, huh?" to "That's right, punks. Proof of (non-) purchase.")

This movie was ridiculous but actually kind of stupid/funny. Kids definitely would like it. Adults should have slightly more alcohol than we did to fully appreciate what is unfolding (or unraveling) before their eyes.

I'm just glad Comet stepped up in the end. And Andy Samberg ... well, don't make any plans to visit Australia anytime soon.

All in all, it lived up to the fake hype. And clearly it was one of Stanley Tucci's best performances.

Will leave you with this exchange (also listed on IMBD), which begins with Ham, our protagonist, claiming he is not an astronaut.

Titan: Are you in aluminum clothes?
Ham III: Yes.
Titan: Are you in a rocket?
Ham III: Yes
Titan: In outer space?
Ham III: Yes.
Titan: Are you David Bowie?
Ham III: Uh... no.

Apparently it all would have been funnier if the chimps had British accents. That pretty much goes for any movie.
