SYNOPSIS
When California girl Susan Murphy is unwittingly clobbered by a meteor full of outer space gunk on her wedding day, she mysteriously grows to 49-feet-11-inches tall. Alerted to the threat of this new monster, the military jumps into action and Susan is captured and secreted away to a covert government compound. There, she is renamed Ginormica and placed in confinement with a ragtag group of other monsters: the brilliant but insect-headed Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D.; the macho half-ape, half-fish The Missing Link; the gelatinous and indestructible B.O.B.; and the 350-foot grub called Insectosaurus. Their confinement is cut short, however, when a mysterious alien robot lands on Earth and begins storming the country. In a moment of desperation, The President is persuaded by General W.R. Monger to enlist the motley crew of Monsters to combat the Alien Robot and save the world from imminent destruction.
It has Hugh Laurie! I love that guy. |

It reminded me of the pre-PC family movies... you know the good ones. I'll say it again, they pegged America perfectly....and that's sad as I saw it to be rather insulting, even though I was laughing my ass off.

Formulaic is sort of a prereq for family films I think. Forced? I didn't feel like it was, what do you mean.

Well if that makes sense perhaps you've hung around Gavin too much It makes sense someone would say that as I heard the dumb argument said a million times over. "Oh it's the first one, it's original so its 10000x betta!" If an idea is only good once, then usually that means it wasn't a very good idea. |
