My friends and I burst out laughing during the scene where Dustin Hoffman is on television saying something like: "If you've seen or recognize this monkey, please contact me at the CDC." The mother of the girl who played with the monkey "recognized" the monkey from the crude DRAWING that her daughter made of it.

Another stupid plot device is that when they find the monkey, it is able to generate enough antisera to treat the entire town's population in a matter of hours. That's one hell of a monkey. For comparison, horses are used to generate antisera against snake venom and it takes a LOT of horses to generate that much antibody.

I was already "losing it" when Hoffman's character played "Blue Thunder action star" with pursuit choppers.

Overall, this was a dumb, DUMB movie. My fellow American Society of Microbiology members, this is one you should skip (unless you're thinking about renting "Congo" instead).
