Boasting names usually associated with films for adults--e.g,. executive producer Ridley Scott and co-stars Harvey Keitel and Mimi Rogers--MONKEY TROUBLE is a kiddie curiosity. Even so, it's ho-hum at best--far from the worst of its kind, but even farther from the best.
Disney child star Thora Birch (PARADISE, HOCUS POCUS) plays Eva, the product of a broken home living with her mom (Rogers) and her stepdad (Christopher McDonald), an LA cop. On alternate weekends, she stays with her airline pilot dad (Kevin Scannell). Vying for attention with two younger
brothers, Eva feels neglected; she'd like a pet, but her stepdad's allergic. Enter Gypsy thief Azro (Keitel)...
