Mr. Monk's Last Case: A Monk Movie

My family and I have watched Monk since it first began. It was so sad to see that it was canceled on TV. years ago. But, unfortunately all good things eventually come to an end. My family and I enjoyed this last Monk episode so much. Hopefully sometime in the future Monk will return for another movie to update what the eccentric detective is doing.

I purchased the series and I was sad when I got to the last episode. It was an addicting watch and hated to see the series end. Then was excited to see that there was one last movie made. It was a great movie and was happy with the ending

I had hoped there would be a movie made (or two or three) when the series ended in 2010. In Mr. Monk's Last Case (maybe), the entire staff reprises their roles. Even Bitty Schram has a cameo role as Sharona Fleming. Tony Shaloub (Monk), Ted Levine (Stottlemeyer), Traylor Howard (Natalie Teeger), Jason Gray-Stanford (Randy), and Hector Elizondo (Dr. Bell) step back into their characters superbly. Randy Zisk returns as the movie's director and Andy Breckman (creator/head writer) is back. The movie's plot is cleverly written with an assortment of hilarious bits from our obsessive-compulsive detective. However, from the outset, there is also a dark undertone to Mr. Monk's persona that we didn't see in the TV series. The usage of the paranormal or religion as the movie reaches a conclusion probably tells us more about where writer Andy Breckman is than I would have cared to know. Still, It is a must-see if you enjoyed the series and I watched it once streaming and again when my Blu-ray disc arrived. I was worried it would not be available on DVD or Blu-ray, so that was a relief. There is very little in the way of bonus features, especially when compared to the complete series box set.

Great movie and it was the perfect way to end the TV show.

It's pretty much an extended episode of the show we all knew but it is worth watching. I enjoyed seeing the old cast one more time.

I agree completely with all comments made by another reviewer describing this as the "Last & Not Best Case". However, as with the series, Kino Lorber did a great job on the Blu Ray transfer, the video quality is excellent!

If you have watched the MONK series when it came out, THIS final Monk movie is a Terrific Ending.

sad, must have different writers.should have left well enough alone.Actors have aged so much....sad
