Plot Outline: A young writer, nearing a mental breakdown caused by his family and boss, moves into an apartment occupied by a walking, talking, foul-mouthed ape in a Hawaiian shirt and Converse High Tops.
Plot: Human resources drone and put-upon family man Harry imagines he could be the next Dostoyevsky if he could just get a little peace and quiet. When he moves into his own apartment to craft his masterpiece, his solitude is broken by an unexpected roommate-a foul-mouthed, Hawaiian shirt-wearing gorilla, eager to share his opinions on life, love, and animal magnetism.

Movie Quotes: Isaiah Haden: [Isaiah is on a plane experiencing turbulence] 3... 2... 1...
[he snaps his fingers, the turbulence stops immediately after]
Isaiah Haden: Coincidence? You'll never know.

Crazy Credits: We know about 2 Crazy Credits. One of them reads:
When "These Days" by Chanal Kreviazuk is playing during the end credits, the pants look like the girls put all these designs on the pants of what their summer was like.

Goofs: We know about 6 goofs. Here comes one of them:
Factual errors: Protagonists rely on full moon setting at midnight on the Sea of Galilee to determine location of birth of the anti-Christ. Full moons are always at zenith - directly overhead - at midnight local time. Only half-moons (waxing half moons at that) set at midnight local time.

Trivia: There are 2 entries in the trivia list - like these:
A freeze frame of the articles that Dr. Massey looks up about Sister Josepha online reveal the following things about her: Her younger sister's name was Denise They were abandoned as infants She and her sister grew up at an orphanage in New South Wales called The Lord's House Sister Josepha got her bachelor's degree at Kings Theological Seminary in Ottawa, Canada and graduated with valedictory honors She went on to attend the Oxford School of Advanced Religions Studies at Oxford College in England Her sister Denise joined the following of a self-proclaimed messiah and committed suicide along with the rest of the cult.
Again in reference to the articles Dr. Massey looked up online, Sister Josepha is once credited as, "Isabela Josepha Montafiore". This could mean possibly one of two things: that her name was first Isabela before becoming a nun and then changed it to Josepha, or her first name is Isabela and she chooses to go by her middle name, Josepha.
