Date Watched: 8/17/2017

Starring: No One

Plot: Teenager, Joan gets more than she bargained for when her workaholic dad buys her a cute pet monkey who grows wings, fangs, and an insatiable thirst for blood come nightfall. (From IMDB)

Rules:

• Clichés
• Regular Monkeys
• Wizard of Oz references
• Say “Monkey”

Quotes:

• “If you’re going to bite me, I’m going to kill you.”
• “It seems like you got a lot of birds here. You got mostly birds?”
• “Now you got a monkey, how am I going to compete with that?”
• “We’re looking for a monkey that recently flew to America.”

Viewer Quotes:

• “He didn’t have a buyer for this crazy monkey?”
• “Sorry I’ve never been there for you, here’s a monkey.”
• “Thanks creepy Dad with your giant chin.”

Things We Learned:

• The way to redeem yourself when you’ve been a deadbeat dad is to buy your daughter a monkey.
• The full moon brings out the flying monkey.
• Monkeys get to be a lot bigger when they become murderous flying monkeys.
• In Texas, even the nerds drive big trucks.

Final Take:  Great ideas and set up, but this movie ultimately felt like a SyFy Channel movie with not enough gore and gruesomeness.  This movie should have pushed the limits, instead it held back, and therefore we can’t really recommend it.
