Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDaniel Stern, who plays Glen Stevenson (the father of Fred Savage's Brian Stevenson), was the man responsible for the voice-over narration on The Wonder Years (1988), in which Savage starred.
- GoofsWhile it is understood that Brian should not visit the Monsters' world anymore because he may turn into a monster himself, there is no reason to think Maurice cannot continue to visit Brian at night in the human world. This makes the tearful goodbye at the end unnecessary.
- Crazy creditsAfter the song "Road to Nowhere", the rest of the end credits audio track is Maurice eating Doritos chips.
- Alternate versionsIn the original theatrical cut, "Little Bitty Pretty One" by Bobby Day plays during the scene where the monsters attempt to scare a baby. On the DVD released by MGM in 2004, this song is replaced with "Ooh Wow" by Buckwheat Zydeco (though the end credits still list the original song). The Blu-ray released by Lionsgate (as part of their Vestron Video series), and the television airings, keep the original song intact.

Featured review
I remember watching this movie with my dad when I was 9 and it was easily one of the funniest movie I had ever feasted my eyes upon. Howie Mandel's one liners were wildly inappropriate for children. Not too mention Fred Savage who was playing an eleven year old boy was almost just as cheeky which made the hilarity of the characters even more difficult not to laugh at.
While it definitely doesn't even come close to being as hilarious as The Goonies it certainly is one of the funniest children's films to come out of the 1980s.
