Monkey Trouble

• Comedy
• Family

A mischievous capuchin monkey named Dodger, escaping a life forced into petty theft with a street performer, unexpectedly finds refuge with a kind-hearted young girl and her unsuspecting mother. This heartwarming family comedy playfully subverts typical animal-buddy narratives; Dodger isn't simply a cute companion, but a fugitive whose past continually threatens to unravel their newfound domestic tranquility, creating comedic chaos and unexpected bonds. The film mines humor not from slapstick alone, but from the evolving dynamic between a cynical, street-smart primate and a child's unwavering innocence, exploring themes of chosen family and the surprising places one can find acceptance. It’s a refreshingly lighthearted story where a criminal's path to redemption is paved with banana peels and stolen trinkets, offering a feel-good experience centered around an unusual interspecies friendship.
