DVD Reviews of Little Monsters
DVD Review: Absolutely Horrible!!
Summary: 1 Stars
Oh my gosh-this is probably one of the worst movies I have seen with my kids ever!!! The kids in the movie were great, the premise, or where I think they were trying to go with it, had potential, but the final product was just was a big FAIL. Not sure if Beelejuice came out before this movie, but it seemed to me that Howie Mandel's character-Maurice-was based on Michael Keaton's character of Beetlejuice, which I absolutely loved! It was an epic disaster. I couldn't understand much of what Maurice was saying as he was too busy bouncing off the walls, and flailing his arms around. On top of this, I had to listen to a jingling, tinkling sound every time Maurice moved-which was every nanosecond, no down time with this character. I guess he was wearing metal things on his clothing-very annoying. Maurice was very irritating-I know my 10-year old son would have told him to take a hike, "Hey, dude, take it down a notch. You're such a spaz."
I keep hearing about how "endearing" and "timeless" the friendship between Fred Savage's character and Maurice was. I just didn't feel it, yet I cry during cat commercials and most corny movies-I am very emotional : ) I found Maurice to be an idiot, extremely stupid, and plain mean. If you see the movie, then you'll understand per the terrible pranks he does to the kids he is supposed to scare (pouring out a school kids apple juice, then urinating in the bottle while the child is sleeping upstairs, scraping tuna off kid's sandwich and replacing it with cat food, trying to scare the death out of a baby in her crib, etc.). If this had been rated R, maybe even PG-13, and done better (maybe it was director's fault), then they could have gotten away with it. I think the movie went so far to each extreme: creepy, then back to endearing, but it just flopped.
Beside all the foul language coming out of the kids' mouths, the final straw for me was when the leader of the "underworld" (character's name is Boy), grabs a child monster for doing something that made him mad, and trying to squeeze the life out of him/her (couldn't tell what gender) and threatening it with bodily harm and then finally rips it's head off. During this rant, "Boy" is telling the young monster-prior to ripping its head off-how much he enjoys scaring it, and in a very weird, creepy, undulating voice. I swear, I was sooo creeped out. It was almost as if he was having the big "O."
I got up at this point and started to clean up around the house. I let my kids finish watching it, but I absolutely do not recommend this movie for children. It is pointless, has gratuitous violence and, unlike other reviewer's, I think the "barely there" friendship message, that gets lost in the midst of the other garbage, is not worth the inappropriateness of most of the movie.
