      Movie Info

      Brian (Fred Savage) isn't scared of the monster living under the bed. On the contrary, when he gets to know the wild-eyed boogeyman, Maurice (Howie Mandel), the pair become fast friends. During the night, Maurice takes his young charge into the netherworld of monsters, where they have a great time making mischief in the lives of sleeping children. But Brian's opinion of Maurice and his freewheeling lifestyle changes when he discovers that he himself is turning into a monster.

      Critic Reviews for Little Monsters

      Audience Reviews for Little Monsters

      • Jun 03, 2012

        Little Monsters presents a fun and creative fantasy tale, but it's a bit unfocused and superficial. When Brian sets out to prove to his brother that there are no monsters in his bedroom, he discovers that not only are monsters real, but that they come from a wondrous, magical world. Fred Savage and Howie Mandel lead the cast and make for a fun, comedic duo. But, the story is weak and the comedy is overly juvenile. The makeup and effects are rather interesting, yet they're not put to much use. While it works at times, Little Monsters ultimately fails to deliver the fun and magical tale that it promises.

        A movie I saw on TV ages ago. LOL pretty lame, but there is little Fred and Ben Savage. And that's got some win.

        A great fantasy adventure kids movie! I really enjoyed it, I just wish I'd seen it as a kid. It's a lot of fun, the actors are good, and so is the story.

        Some friends can be REAL MONSTERS. And some monsters can be REAL FRIENDS. Saw it again! Great kids movie! Loved it when I was a kid and saw it again and really enjoyed it one more time. I know kids these days will enjoy it if they saw it too so well recommended. A child meets the monster that lives under his bed. He even becomes one of his best friends. Soon the child discovers a whole new world of fun and games under his bed where pulling pranks on kids and other monsters is the main attraction.
