Hawks builds it with an irregular rhythm that loses its comic effect with each boring gag about the elixir of eternal youth. [Full review in Spanish]

Mark Leeper's Reviews

Mark R. Leeper

A somewhat half-hearted film at that, neither good science fiction nor good comedy.

In my view, the moral satire of Monkey Business remains at the stage of intention, and the writers ceased to develop their idea with any seriousness beyond the two-thirds point in the picture.

A summit of comic invention.

Screwball classic is still funny but shows its age.
