Monkey Business | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Mildly amusing screwball comedy about the effects of a youth formula on a married couple, in the vein of (but not as witty or funny) Hawks' 1938 Bringing Up Baby, which also starred Cary Grant.

The rather strained, juvenile high jinks do have their funny lines and situations, plus Monroe as an incompetent stenographer.

Attempt to draw out a thin, familiar slapstick idea isn't carried off.

A goofy premise and slight script are transformed into something very funny by director Howard Hawks and a cast of screen legends.

Monkey Business ranks with the best works of the American cinema.
