Bad Monkey2024

7.1/10
This Florida-set caper is low-key, low-stakes, and high fun

You’d think a caper set in Florida starring Vince Vaughn would be wild, but Bad Monkey is surprisingly chill. The stakes are low, the mystery is revealed quite early, and everyone moves at a languid pace that feels right for the summer season. And yet it’s still fun to watch. It has the right amount of intrigue and it looks enviably nice. Half the time you’ll just be wishing you too could sit back and down a beer while watching the warm Florida waves rock by. Admittedly, the plot lines don’t always mesh and Vaughn could be more dynamic in his performance, but overall, this makes for a perfectly fine summer watch.

Synopsis

A detective turned restaurant inspector in Southern Florida is pulled into a world of greed and corruption after a tourist finds a severed arm while fishing. And yes, there's a monkey.

Storyline

In the Florida Keys, suspended detective Andrew Yancy (Vince Vaughn) is drawn to a case that involves more people and officials than he initially expected.

TLDR

Fans of Peacock’s Poker Face, put this on if you can’t wait till the next season.

What stands out

So, is the monkey good or bad? Is it anything?
