| Henry Dussard, a young American, inherits a picturesque but badly neglected olive farm in southern France and is determined to make it operational again despite cautionary advice from the local priest and a pretty villager. Desperate for laborers, the inventive Dussard turns to the zaniest crew of olive pickers ever recruited - four mischievous monkeys! As former members of an Air Force space team, these intelligent chimps quickly pick up on their new responsibilities - but prove to have a turbulent effect on the local townspeople. | |

Trending Position
I don't have any negative feelings towards this, yet I have nothing for it positively either - there's no real enjoyment or entertainment to be had. <em>'Monkeys, Go Home!'</em> starts off intriguingly, but to me as soon as the monkeys turn up it loses all interest - which, as you can imagine, is ... n't great considering the title. It just sleepwalks through its run time. Dean Jones (Hank), Maurice Chevalier (Sylvain) and Yvette Mimieux (Maria) all give decent performances, but unfortunately for them everything else about the film is just so average. As for the other cast members, Bernard Woringer (Marcel) & Clément Harari (Emile) are OK antagonists. The score is solid while the locations look pretty good. However, sadly, I can't really majorly praise much else about this. Even if there are worse films out there, of course.
