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.
