Girl vs. Monster

Girl vs. Monster is currently streaming in Australia on Disney Plus, and in the US on Disney Plus, and it delivers exactly the kind of comedy that earns a loyal following. It knows exactly what kind of film it is from the opening scene, and never loses that thread. 284 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Olivia Holt's performance alone is worth the time investment. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Disney Plus.

There is a reason Girl vs. Monster keeps coming up in conversation. The jokes in Girl vs. Monster land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. Skylar finds out that her parents are monster hunters after she accidentally releases some monsters from a secret containment chamber; so she and her techno friends must recapture all the monsters and also save her mom and dad from these monsters who are out for revenge. Olivia Holt and Kerris Dorsey lead a cast that never overplays a joke. Girl vs. Monster came out in 2012. The timing in Girl vs. Monster is precise enough that even the throwaway lines land on a second watch. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Girl vs. Monster is the kind of thing you put on in the background and end up fully watching. It does not lean on comparisons to make its case. Short enough to finish in one sitting, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Olivia Holt's comic timing carries it through its weaker moments. The kind of comedy you recommend to someone who claims they do not watch much.

Girl vs. Monster was released in 2012, directed by Stuart Gillard. The full 88-minute film is available to watch now.
