I remember watching this movie with my dad when I was 9 and it was easily one of the funniest movie I had ever feasted my eyes upon. Howie Mandel's one liners were wildly inappropriate for children. Not too mention Fred Savage who was playing an eleven year old boy was almost just as cheeky which made the hilarity of the characters even more difficult not to laugh at. While it definitely doesn't even come close to being as hilarious as The Goonies it certainly is one of the funniest children's films to come out of the 1980s.

Like a funny movie once in awhile. Well the movie Little Monsters is an amazing movie that will make you laugh. Between comedy, old special effects and actors it's great. The 27 year old movie Little Monsters has special effects are OK but they are nothing like the special effects today. In one of the scenes a the main character falls through his bedroom floor. You can tell that he had something on him bringing him though the floor but you don't know what. In another scene A fire is started. Instead of the writer using a green screen they use real fire. Between Howie Mendel, Ben Savage, and Fred Savage. Most of the actors in this movie ended up making it big in Hollywood. For example Howie Mandel is one of the main judges on America's got Talent. Ben has been in Girl and Boy Meets world. The rest of the actors either are dead or not acting as much anymore.

The language and script is one of the funniest. The movie is 27 years old and is still is one of the funniest. Howie plays one of the main characters and he is the funniest. The main monster makes fun of himself and acts like a teenager. The main leading lady makes fun of the leading male saying he was to stupid to understand one of their science projects.

I recommend this movie to anybody who has kids age 10-12. I give this movie a 9/10. If you like a comical movie I would go and buy this movie.

Although I did enjoy this movie (and gave it a 7), I found the PG rating a major misstep by the MPAA. Cuss words, adult situations, more than cartoonish violence .. not that the movie is lessened because of it .. but at the beginning of the video I rented, there was an add for kids to call a 1-900 number and try to win prizes related to to the show - but this movie is in no way made with kids in mind. Howie Mandel hams it up, and an early movie appearance by Frank Whaley is five minutes of fabulous.
