BadNews R Monsters at Large tries hard to capture that old-school Nickelodeon or Disney Channel Original Movie vibe, but unfortunately, it misses the mark completely. Instead of delivering a fun, quirky childhood adventure, the movie ends up being overly goofy, shallow, and painfully juvenile. The biggest issue is its tone. Rather than striking a balance between silly fun and genuine heart, it goes all-in on exaggerated slapstick and childish humor that feels better suited for a kindergarten audience than for a family movie night. The “jokes” aren’t clever or funny—just loud, awkward, and forced. From a technical standpoint, the movie struggles as well. The editing is clunky, making scenes feel disjointed and uneven, while the writing leans so far into over-the-top antics that it never stops to ground itself. It honestly feels like the director aimed to “think like a kid,” but instead of tapping into nostalgic charm, the result is immature chaos that alienates older kids and adults alike. Ultimately, Monsters at Large feels like a waste of time. It doesn’t work as a children’s movie, a family comedy, or even a so-bad-it’s-good guilty pleasure. There’s no charm, no rewatch value, and nothing that makes it stand out in an already overcrowded genre of kids’ films. ⭐ Verdict: A painfully unfunny misfire. Skip it.
