A great family movie that ya should watch with your children. It is very funny ya will laugh out loud and probably watch it again and again if ya like animal movies this one will not disappoint. The only thing that could have made it better is if the monkey talked but it's still a great movie. This is a lot better than the MVP movies, and planet of the apes. This movie could be called a hidden gem, so seek it out. A must watch if ya have kids they will love the monkey and the main female character played by thora Birch. Get the popcorn ready but be careful cause this movie is very funny. I give this movie 5 stars and two thumbs up! So what are ya waiting for? go out and get a hold of this movie right now!
This little girl in here (played by Thora Birch) is a little annoying because of her constant lying. However, in the end - as in most stories that dealing with people who lie all the time - she sees that the troubles she's encountered are due to those prevarications.The monkey in here is fun to watch. It was also nice to see Mimi Rogers in a wholesome and - gasp - even more shocking: Harvey Keitel not utter a bad word. Rogers and Christopher MacDonald play too-liberal parents, discipline- wise, but otherwise this is a pretty enjoyable lightweight film that moves along at a good clip.It's not memorable, but it's family-safe and a decent movie for the adults, too.
MONKEY TROUBLE, in my opinion, is an excellent comedy for all ages! I really loved Dodger. If I could have, I would have stroked him and held him myself. It only makes me wonder where I would hide him or her if I were to have a monkey for a pet. The soundtrack was smashing, the costumes were perfectly designed, everyone was cast perfectly, and the direction was flawless. In conclusion, I highly recommend this excellent comedy for all ages to any Thora Birch or Harvey Keitel fan who hasn't seen it. You're in for a real treat and a good time, so go to the video store, rent it or buy it, kick back with someone close to you, and watch it. I guarantee you you'll thoroughly enjoy it.
"Monkey Trouble" tells of an organ grinder's (Keitel) pickpocket monkey who abandons his boss and adopts a young girl (Birch) leading to much monkey business. All of the human actors in this corny flick are upstaged by the monkey star whose antics make this predictable family comedy worth watching. Nuff said.
