Leave your thoughts about Monkey Business.
| Movie MomNell MinowCute comedy with a nice early appearance by Marilyn Monroe. |
| VarietyVariety StaffAttempt to draw out a thin, familiar slapstick idea isn't carried off. |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrMonkey Business ranks with the best works of the American cinema. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyMildly amusing screwball comedy about the effects of a youth formula on a married couple, in the vein of (but not as witty or funny) Hawks' 1938 Bringing Up Baby, which also starred Cary Grant. |
| New York TimesBosley CrowtherAs soon as this gag is established and provokes the obvious guffaws, the subsequent changes rung upon it become just a little dull. |
| User ReviewKimmie MSilliness ensues throughout the whole movie. . .it's fabulous. |
| User ReviewStefanie RLoved it!!! I'm beginning to love Cary Grant so so much!!! Very funny movie...Marilyn Monroe as awesome as always! |
| User ReviewRuby Lescalates into high farce in the classic screwball fashion, but even though you see every 'twist' coming it's still laugh-out-loud funny when it arrives. delicious |
| User ReviewBrian R"Miss Laurel was just showing me her acetates." Cary Grant plays a scientist set to work on finding an elixir of youth but his chimp Esther beats him to it and puts it in the drinking water. Hysterical comedy with an effervescent cast. Cary Grant is at his unhinged best and Charles Coburn plays his old fool of a boss perfectly but the two ladies are simply magnificent - Ginger Rogers is a revelation, displaying brilliant comic timing and Marilyn Monroe provides the funniest moments in the whole film, and of course they're both very beautiful. There truly was no-one better at making this sort of comedy than director Howard Hawks - he understood that this sort of nonsense needs to be played out by well-drawn characters who, in spite of the ludicrous situations they find themselves in, are always strangely believable. This Monkey Business is even better than the Marx Brothers film of the same name, and as far as I am concerned there is no higher praise. |
| User ReviewMasoud TBesides numerous laugh-out-loud scenes (that stand the test of time), just watching this film's world class cast that includes Cary Grant, Ginger Rogers, Hugh Marlowe, and Marilyn Monroe, warrants a good time! |
