Reviews for Monkey Business
'Monkey Business' has its moments, but they may prove too few for the patience of many viewers.
05/11/02
Attempt to draw out a thin, familiar slapstick idea isn't carried off.
02/03/09
A goofy premise and slight script are transformed into something very funny by director Howard Hawks and a cast of screen legends.

he timing of the gags can put most Hollywood comedies, never mind TV sitcoms, to shame.
02/09/06
The rather strained, juvenile high jinks do have their funny lines and situations, plus Monroe as an incompetent stenographer.

Grant is as wonderful as ever, pulling the film along when its plot drags or his co-stars ham it up too much.

Perhaps the greatest Hollywood director who ever lived, Howard Hawks knew instinctively how to use certain actors.

Cute comedy with a nice early appearance by Marilyn Monroe.

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.
