Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie
Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
twinsabbath This is my all time favorite movie to date when I was a kid I watched it 3 to 4 times a day I just got original one sheet poster on eBay a few weeks ago looks amazing this is my first review this movie is just fun it was made to be a lot darker but they wanted it for little kids I would of loved to see what they would of done with it but all in all it is great for a family movie and a great kids movie if you ever see it at any store I would pick this up I still show this movie to new coming family I don't think it has ever lost anything I have seen it a million times and it never gets old I know ever line in the movie And if you look it up this move did not do any good at the box office I mean it didn't make a quarter of it's money back I just hope it gets a blue ray release but it so long to even get a DVD release on it
adog1990 I have to agree with The Nostalgia Critic, after seeing Little Monsters. It is not funny and is a miserable and depressing movie. At first when I saw the cover of the movie, I thought this might not be bad. But when I saw boy was I wrong. Here are the problems why this film is miserable and not funny. Fred Savage plays a awful kid who gets his mean-spirited nature from cruel dad played by Daniel Stern (not even this half-ass Wonder Years reunion could save it). The pranks are super awful especially the putting plastic on the toilet which is really cruel to women. Howie Mandel (even though he is trying to be funny and is close) plays the same monster who's weakness is light from Joe Dante's Gremlins but with a style of being the second member to the Supernatural Fast Talking Annoying Dick Club (the first was with Beetlejuice to it's newest member Wilfred the Dog). The script is somehow written by newcomers at that time the writer duo Terry Rossio and Ted Elliott (who would latter write more classical children films like Aladdin (where that film got it's supernatural annoying dick from), the first Shrek movie and Treasure Planet) who wrote this to punish kids or maybe hatted kids at that time. The monster world is too dark and red for a kid's film while going under the bed is interesting. The visuals are too scary to be a PG rating. Also the film need to be a PG-13 rating also to the language and this was back then when the people who rating films were not well and were too lazy. Finally, it has measurable things like kids being blamed and yelled from their at for the pranks Fred Savage and Howie Mandel made (oh my god!) and it's also good not to see some of the parents beat them up. Then to make it more miserable it has separation which kids really don't need to see their film until it has a better idea and is not too measurable. Lastly it is very too mean-spirited for a comedy (sometimes it can work if it has a meaning and this film doesn't) and kid's thing. And is on the the awful mean-spirited media next to Drop Dead Fred, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy and Wilfred which are things I can't stand. This film is know to start the downfall of Fred Savage's fame and staring in movies (if though The Wizard was bad, this is worst) and Howie Mandel appearing in fewer movies. I have to say this film is the evil big brother to Pixar's Monsters, Inc. and if you want a good family film to watch with kids, watch Monsters, Inc. instead of this depression piece of crap that can scar and frighting your kids to pain.
sportychick0341 If I could, I would give this movie a - 23365416274176246712376246871267127562751765176381278364867.2The best part of this movie is that the guy sleeping in the lawn chair in Malibu, California (which his parents didn't know where it was?) was Not Bill Murray. Thank God.This is best troll movie ever. What the hell just happened?Out of the 7 of us watching (b/w ages 17-19) 1 one of us shook herself into a fever, 2 of them barely survived their second viewing, the other 4 of us are in physical pain. (none of this is exaggerated.)This movie of 1 hr and 42 minutes took us 3 freaking hours (we started @ 8, and stopped @ 11:11) to finish because we kept pausing to scream at the screen.In conclusion, if you watch this movie, you will die.
samboM5 A kids movie that delivers, Little Monsters is something I'd recommend even now to families. Sure it ain't perfect, but it does manage to get a good mix of fantasy and real issues that confront people (boy not wanting to grow up, parents having marriage issues etc). Well acted and filmed, you should see it if you get the chance. Fred Savage manages to be cute and smart but still likable, not completely sugar-sweet. The rest of the cast works together, with the possible exception of Ben Savage (Freds brother). But hey, he was like 7 and it was his first real role, so all in all, a really good movie. It's too cute to really dislike. Nuff said.
