“Forget FREE WILLY.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf youu0026#39;re looking for a really decent kids/animal flick that will appeal to young, old, or in-between, look no further than MONKEY TROUBLE. Thora Birch gives a fantastic performance as a little girl who wants a dog and winds up with a monkey escaping from its abusive owner (Harvey Keitel) who has trained the little critter to pick pockets and burglarize houses. The monkey takes an instant liking to the little girl, who names him Dodger, and sneaks him home. Meantime, the drunken gypsy (Keitel) will stop at nothing to get him back. Itu0026#39;s an intelligent, well performed family classic that will appeal to just about anyone-even those who donu0026#39;t appreciate movies about kids and killer whales.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eRating: **** out of *****”
