Reviews for Monkey Business
As soon as this gag is established and provokes the obvious guffaws, the subsequent changes rung upon it become just a little dull.
Perhaps the greatest Hollywood director who ever lived, Howard Hawks knew instinctively how to use certain actors.
O ponto alto é ver Grant se comportar como uma criança travessa – especialmente na cena em que ele entra em conflito com a também rejuvenescida Ginger Rogers.
Combines a few lovable Hollywood icons, an admittedly goofball plot, some sweet-natured romance, and brilliant rapid-fire exchanges of breathless comedic dialogue.
'Monkey Business' has its moments, but they may prove too few for the patience of many viewers.
Grant is as wonderful as ever, pulling the film along when its plot drags or his co-stars ham it up too much.
