My favourite comedy

Rating: 10/10 (19 May 2004)

You've just got to see this film. It will have you bouncing up and down with laughter no matter what age you are. Billy Crystal and John Goodman are perfect as the two main characters of the film Mike Wasowski and James P. Sullivan and so is the rest of the voice-cast which includes James Coburn; this must have been his last film. "Monsters, inc." has great jokes and great lines (Randall (the bad monster): Where's the kid you creatin; Mike: First of all it's cretin. If you're gonna threaten me you might as well do it properly). This film also has a great score written by the fabulous musician Randy Newman, and the film's song "Wouldn't Have Nothing If I Didn't Have You" won a well deserved Oscar. Hang around for the credits, there are some of the funniest outtakes that you will ever see in your entire life-time. But one of the most interesting things about this film is that it is really unbelievably sweet without being sickly so. Most Disney films are full of sloppy over-sentimentality but this film isn't which shows how little an influence Disney has on Pixar studios. If you want to buy this film on DVD, I strongly suggest that you get the special edition which is made up of two DVDs. It has tons of special features and watching them you will find out that the crew that made this film are really adorable people. If you are feeling miserable, this film will almost surely cheer you up. It is smart without being vulgar which I find very good; people of all ages can watch this film. Films as good as this are very rare so just see it! I drink to the health and long life of Pixar animation studios and the crew behind this film which is undeniably a comedy Classic like "Some Like It Hot". See this film and be prepared to experience the time of your life. And remember "Put that thing back where it came from or so help me".
