    Smart Family film with a Heart

    This is undoubtedly one of the best family films you will watch, well written, the character development is very well done, we actually get engaged with all the characters feelings and emotions, there no single dull moment, it's a complete family package and a movie for all ages, it teaches family values, all the comic scenes are well done..they have humour in it, it's one of those films which will make you feel fresh after watching it

    Just as worst as it's successor franchise Pup Star!!!

    Monkey up is just as bad as Pup Star!!! I don't know how else to express it enough other than its bad CGI effects and where one monkey just passes gas and another monkey just throws his/her crap at a human character. What has happened to the creators of the original Air Bud and Air Buddies series?? Have they lost their sense of creativity with their filmmaking tecunique?

    A Smart movie with a Heart

    Without any doubt this movie is one of the best family entertainers to come out, well written, comic scenes with humour, character development is so good that you easily get connected with the characters, good emotional scenes as well, teaches family values, a movie for all ages

    Regular...

    Another Jack monkey film, the third in a row, and following the same line, nothing new, despite the gimmicks of the monkeys, the film only pleases the little ones...

    One of the most horrendous films I have ever seen

    Monkey Up (2016) is one of the most horrendous films I have ever seen. That is not an exaggeration. I don't even know where to begin. The directing is some of the stalest I have ever seen. The entire production seems like an uninspired piece of product spat out by a studio. So much so that the studio and the director team up for an average of 2 movies per year. I'm not kidding either, Robert Vince has been making animal-based family comedies on a yearly basis since 2000. I can practically guarantee that most of them have the exact same structure every single time. The writing is absolutely pandering, trying to play off what kids these days "like to do". It seems like a 70-year-old man wrote this script up in an hour, with one purpose. That purpose being to write in as many "selfie" and "hashtag" jokes that could possibly be put into an 80-minute film. The acting was some of the worst I've ever seen put to film. I've seen better acting from students trying to reenact a play inside of their English class. But I would actually encourage people to watch this movie, especially film students. If you are ever feeling down on yourself, just watch this movie. Hopefully you will realize that you aren't making absolute trash like this. I feel bad for the sad saps who worked on this movie because they have created something hideous. Does God live in shame because of what he has created? If he ever watched this movie, he surely would.
