STUDIO SYNOPSIS

When California girl Susan Murphy is unwittingly clobbered by a meteor full of outer space gunk on her wedding day, she mysteriously grows to 49-feet-11-inches tall. The military jumps into action and Susan is captured and secreted away to a covert government compound. There, she is renamed Ginormica and placed in confinement with a ragtag group of Monsters: the brilliant but insect-headed Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D.; the macho half-ape, half-fish The Missing Link; the gelatinous and indestructible B.O.B.; and the 350-foot grub called Insectosaurus. Their confinement is cut short, however, when a mysterious alien robot lands on Earth and begins storming the country. In a moment of desperation, the President is persuaded to enlist the motley crew of Monsters to combat the Alien Robot and save the world from imminent destruction.

SPIRITUAL POINT OF VIEW
(continued from the visual review)

This is not a serious film. And, so what? It’s just pure fun.

Woody Allen, summed up not having fun this way, “Most of the time I don't have much fun. The rest of the time I don't have any fun at all.” Such a life would be depressing. I like to think of not having fun as being possessed by the anti-fun demon. It needs to be cast out. Amen. The fun nature of the Creator can be seen in the platypus duckbill, dolphins, and lady bugs (or in the strange creatures in this film). Life should be enjoyed. Laughing is good medicine. All this to say that, here is a film that is simply a lot of fun and well worth the ticket price.
