Love and Monsters | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald Appealing leads, a big heart and great monster design and splatter make terrific fun. Apr 28, 2021 Full Review Love and Monsters | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Ian Freer Empire Magazine Love And Monsters is a blast, an unassuming, immensely winning monster movie filled with great lo-fi creatures and a likeable cast. As a template for making a leaner, less bloated summer movie, Hollywood could do a lot worse. Rated: 4/5 Apr 21, 2021 Full Review Love and Monsters | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Charlotte O'Sullivan London Evening Standard Director Michael Matthews has invented a new sub-genre: dank comedy. Rated: 4/5 Apr 17, 2021 Full Review Love and Monsters | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Jade Budowski Decider Love and Monsters offers an adventure full of excitement and emotion, striking a beautiful balance of humor and heart. Dec 14, 2023 Full Review Love and Monsters | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Joe Lipsett Hazel & Katniss & Harry & Starr Podcast Love and Monsters features plenty of comedy and heart, courtesy of O'Brien's voice over and a script from Robinson and Duffield. I'm a big fan of Dog, the way the film handles Joel's relationship with Aimee, and the Oscar-nominated realism of the CGI. Rated: 4.5/5 Oct 10, 2023 Full Review Love and Monsters | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Graeme Tuckett Stuff.co.nz Love and Monsters is a warm-hearted, properly funny and very likeable film.
