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. 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 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 to enlist the motley crew of Monsters to combat the Alien Robot and save the world from imminent destruction.
Scott's Review
This is definitly a feel good movie. The storyline was easy to follow and well written. Although this is a kids movie there are some adult type themes for the parents, such as the parallels between the president and our former president.
Scott's Rating
(5 Frogs) - Excellent. A must see movie. Movies with this rating would include Star Wars, LoTR, Gandi, Beaches. These are the movies I will buy on DVD when they are released.
(3 Frogs) - Average. Nothing special about these movies. Movies with this rating would include Volcano, Revenge of the Nerds, King Ralph. These movies I would only buy on DVD if they are on sale.
(2 Frogs) - So So. Storyline below average, visual effects mediocre. Movies with this rating include Craft, Sister Act, Star Trek Generations. These movies I would probably not buy.
(1 Frog) - Bad. Lousy storyline, poor acting, but may have some item as a saving grace. Movies with this rating include League of Extraordinary Gentleman, Star Trek 3 The search for spock, Replicators, Kung Pow!. These movies I will not buy.
