Amazon.com: A movie only a kid could love, which was the whole point. Harvey Keitel plays a small-time thief who performs as an organ grinder on the boardwalk at Venice Beach. His scam involves his monkey, which has been trained to pick pockets. Now a mob boss wants to borrow the monkey to pull off some big scores--but the monkey runs away and is adopted by a lonely little girl (Thora Birch). She finds herself in increasingly hot water when her new pet starts bringing her the valuables of everyone in the neighborhood. Birch is a natural young actress, while Keitel hams it up shamelessly (he reportedly made the film to amuse his young daughter). --Marshall Fine

Rating: - Monkey Trouble
Another of my favorite movies that stars Thora Birch when younger. A lonely girl finds a monkey in the park and it goes from there to her trying to hide it and escape the gypsy that previously owned the monkey. It is a great movie!

A fun story for kids - what movie with a money isn;t?? (I gave it as a gift with the book.)
Rating: - This movie is mon-crazy!!!
I have mixed feelings about this movie. On one hand, it's an enjoyable kids movie that's somewhat entertaining. On the other hand, it sends a very negative message to our youth. It's all fun and games until halfway through the movie where Dodger gains mutant powers from eating a toxic banana after sneaking into a government bio engineering plant and decides to use his powers for evil rather than good. Eva gets sick and Dodger decides to rob a bank to pay the medical bills. Jean Claude Van Dam is a special forces agent working to stop the monkey in time (I think he's a pretty good actor). There is a plot twist that's somewhat good but I won't spoil it here. I recommend picking up "Slam Dunk Ernest" instead.
