Skip it. 'Monster Summer' sounds like a by-the-numbers kids' adventure that's been done a hundred times before—plucky teens, mysterious force, retired cop mentor, island setting. Without critical validation to justify sitting through another generic mystery-adventure, your time is better spent elsewhere.

Plot

When a mysterious force begins to disrupt their big summer fun, Noah and his friends team up with a retired police detective to embark on a monstrous adventure to save their island.
