Review of Little Monsters (1989) by Morgan W — 27 Aug 2013

A boy and his family move to a new town because of his fathers job. The kid named Brian hates the new town and misses his friends and is having a hard time finding new ones in this town. He starts noticing something weird like his bike being left on the drive way and ice cream being eaten and he is also getting blamed for it.

Also his brother witnessed a monster in the middle of the night so Brian sets a trap for them and it works and soon after Brian becomes friends with Maurice a monster who is wild and really goofy and just a little off the wall.

Maurice introduces Brian to a world where there is no homework, parents and a worry free environment. They both go and play pranks on a lot of kids even a bully that was currently picking on Brian. But when Maurice pulls a cruel one on a girl that Brian likes and an even cruel one on a baby Brian gets fed up and has had enough of this foolish pranks.

Not to his knowledge does he know every visit to this world is making Brian little by little turning him into a monster. When this does not work the bad monsters get upset and kidnap Brian's little brother so Brian goes back with a bunch of friends and tries to get his brother back.

Howie Mandel was a little over the top at times and a little annoying but most of the time he was pretty funny. It also has Daniel stern who I think is pretty cool. Really enjoyed him in HOME ALONE as one of the bandits and was real funny.

Rick Ducommun who I really liked in THE BURBS. And frank Whaley who was pretty cool in CAREER OPPORTUNITIES. And of course Fred Savage who played Brian who I thought he fit and played the part really well.

This is a really good movie but what bugged me a little they say its a kids movie but there is bad language here and there through the movie and if a had a kid I would be upset them saying its a kids movie and having them hear some bad words .

Some I'm just giving you a heads up. I wouldn't put it in the instant classic category but it was funny and a real enjoyable movie. A real good movie. Oh wait, it's an. Eighties movie what did I suspect.

DUH!!!
