5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful movie, June 24, 2004

By 

Funkee Monkee "Kristyn" (Hampton, GA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Summer of the Monkeys [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Like a previous reviewer stated, the title didn't catch me. The cover (I was 8 and judging by the cover was the way to tell) looked bored and showed off a boring deal. It didn't help that it looked rural. It just looked dull!

How wrong I was! I haven't watched this movie in probably five years, but I remember it's magic. It was just a great, simple movie. You could relate to Jay-he was the troublemaker, yet often felt ignored. Corey Sevier is one of those actors that you see everywhere but you can't quite put your finger on it--but he's great!

The highlights of this movie are simple scenes, really. Unlike most, there's no HUGE event that leads the movie. That said, it's a simple movie that even young kids can enjoy. Kids who's favorites movie list upon the Fast and the Furious, may not like it because it's not that kind of movie-but sensitive children are sure to love it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Movie for the Entire Family, August 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Summer of the Monkeys [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I went to the mall and saw this movie sold at Best Buy. I had the priviledge to watch it on cable just today. We need more movies like this to instill family values. I think this is a super movie for the whole family. Have some tissues ready.

4.0 out of 5 stars Movie with a sweet message, October 15, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Summer of the Monkeys [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This movie is not really about monkeys but a story about a young boy growing up and out of selfishness. It's wonderful to watch this boy take a big step to becoming a man by the things he experiences one eventful summer. I was satisfied to have my children watch a film with such a great message.It was also nice to watch a film with clean language. You won't be sorry you watched it.
