Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Dalbert Pringle Monkey see. Monkey do.From a strictly visual perspective only - Disneynature's "Monkey Kingdom" was, indeed, a super-impressive wildlife documentary. There's no question about it.The excellent camerawork that took an up-close look at the macaque monkeys (with their "natural" bowl-cut hairdos) hanging out in the ruins of an abandoned temple in the jungles of Sri Lanka was truly awesome, to say the least.Boy, these chattering, little critters (whose babies were so ugly they were actually cute) certainly were totally obsessed with grooming each other.But - On the down side - This presentation's irksome, voice-over narration delivered by Tina Fey (who was trying so desperately to be funny) stank, big-time.I really loathed Fey's commentary that kept trying to "humanize" these wild animals and reduce them to being a quaint, little novelty-act straight out of a pop-culture, fast-food, TV commercial.

Hollywood_Yoda In this latest outing by Disneynature, we meet Maya, a monkey who is an outcast to her own troop. Through pure determination and perseverance however, she survives and thrives. After she finds a mate, who is later runoff by the other monkeys; and becomes a mother to Kip, she continues her fight, even against the greatest odds. Even after being forcibly moved by a neighboring troop to a new home, and having to fight for survival and even traveling into a human village.It is while Maya and the other monkeys are in the human village that they get into a lot of mischief. Very entertaining and fun movie for the whole family.My only fault with the film is that the voice of Tina Fey can make you want to fall asleep.

subxerogravity I'm not really into Disney nature documentaries. I've seen a few they did in the 1960s on The Wonderful World of Disney, but the new ones they put out don't last in the theaters long enough for me to catch (Although I think I saw the one about the chimpanzees, and the one about elephants) This one is a lot different from the old docs 50 years ago. It's very playful with the narrative and tells a more linear story voiced by Tiny Fey. What's most interesting about this is how the plot follows the Disney formula of a true underdog coming up. They must have had to do a lot of research and follow these monkeys for a long period of time to pull that off.The story is about a single mother named Mya who's on the very bottom of the social status and must beat the odds in order to provide a better life for her son, kip.It was so fascinating to see how the Monkey kingdom mimics the kingdom of man. Whenever someone tries to convince me that we are better than other animals (cause sometimes man forgets that's what we are). I'll have this movie to use as an example of how that's not accurate.I went into this film not thinking much of anything but killing time, but it was not a waste of time. It was great!
