David Hinckley New York Daily News 08/01/2019
Since Carvey built much of his "Saturday Night Live" reputation on imitations of political personalities, he finds a way here to mash a half-dozen of them together... It's comedically okay, but it feels like nostalgia humor. Go to Full Review Dorothy Rabinowitz Wall Street Journal 08/01/2019
A Carvey comedy special comes with special problems -- for one, a star with minimal skills for stand-up comedy. He's wildly repetitious, punishing to hear in his gnawing on the same mirth-free shtick. Go to Full Review Sean O'Neal AV Club 08/01/2019
As a reviewer, the highest praise that I can give Squatting Monkeys is that Carvey avoids doing either Garth or The Church Lady. Go to Full Review David Medsker Bullz-Eye.com 08/01/2019
Carvey is a funny, funny guy, but his latest HBO special feels like the work of someone who is either out of ideas or out of energy. Go to Full Review Mark de la Viña Baltimore Sun 08/01/2019
Squatting Monkeys Tell No Lies straddles the manic and reflective. Carvey is perhaps a little more political than in the past, but he never veers too far from the unapologetically silly. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Zack B 12/21/2015 http://letterboxd.com/zbender/film/dana-carvey-squatting-monkeys-tell-no-lies/ Dana Carvey has seemed to be irrelevant in recent years. However, after watching this and looking through his filmography it's really sad that his career is now barren of work. After the panned Master of Disguse, he has only been in two films (both are Adam Sandler flicks). Of course there are some TV appearences, and then this stand up gem. In this there is a reminder that Dana has still got some talent. The impressions are spot on, and watching him move around with energy many years after his most well known failure is very encouraging. This special was seven years ago however, so I can only imagine what he's been up to since. Well, he was in Hotel Transylvania 2. That's hopeful right? No, that's pretty sad. See more Darrell T 03/27/2013 Very funny stand-up...lots of old fav's like George Bush, Ross Perot & The Church Lady...some old bits from his 1995 HBO show, Critic's Choice. See more Joe C 09/06/2012 Ive been a huge fan of Dana Carvey in general since I first saw Wayne's World as a child. After he put out Master of Disguise, which wasn't technically too bad, just so stupid, I thought he wouldn't be able to come back. His stand up on the other hand is fantastic, and his outlook on everything is so great. The politic pieces he does are extraordinary. If you like stand up at all or Dana Carvey at all for that matter, this is one stand up DVD you should definitely check out. See more Read all reviews
