Summer of the Monkeys is a great movie. It's excellent for children watching these cute monkeys and see a boy go crazy over them. It's young for the kids and for the adults, they can pick out the deeper meaning of a boy struggling through his adolescent years. It's the story of a young boy who wants a pony and will do anything for one. He tried to work at his grandpa's store but chores get in the way too much. He's soon punished for not watching his sister, who has a leg problem and needs an operation and is not permitted to go to his grandpas. Now, he can't buy the pony he wanted. He runs away from home and only his grandpa can talk him back. A wanted poster is out for the monkeys and Jay's enemies try to go kill them. Jay foils there trap and they hate him for it. They beat him up and Jay's friend who is a hermit scares the boys away and protects Jay. But after a storm that destroys many things, including the death of his friend, Jay learns the meaning of selflessness. This is a great movie for everyone and I really liked it. I would recommend it for a good movie for the family.
