Jungle 2 Jungle

Kids will be riveted by the convoluted stock market plotline, and adults will be delighted by Tim Allen regurgitating jokes from the Home Improvement cutting room floor. And *everyone* will appreciate the complete lack of likable characters or anything approaching cleverness. Truly a movie with something for everyone!

This is what an abortion feels like.

NATURE MEETS BIG CITY, COLD BUSINESSMAN LEARNS VALUES!

One of the nadirs of children's cinema. To resort to cliche, it makes Home Alone look like Citizen Kane. I don't care if it's a kids movie, that's not a fucking excuse for lazy, bad, unfunny filmmaking. Shit.

Appears to have been made by someone with no hands.

It's a stupid Disney movie from the 90's. If you're looking for good family films of the 90's, stay the FUCK away from Jungle 2 Jungle. There is an entire slew of better films from this same period if you want to go back and rewatch something for nostalgia.

Terrible "fish out of water" comedy.

A businessman (Allen) learns of an illegitimate son who has been raised in a jungle tribe. Named Mimi-Siku (\"Cat pee\"), the boy tries to win the heart of his busy father on a trip to that OTHER jungle, New York City.

Tim Allen keepin it real in both jungles.

The PSI on this was 10 but maybe not everyone has the same soft spot for Tim Allen. I’m not saying it’s a good movie. Nor even that it by any means executes an already dodgy premise by exploring the ideas faithfully, committing and/or avoiding plot holes every 5 minutes. Just saying that there are worse movies…and it’s kinda wholesome? In a “Wallstreet Exec with a heart of gold” Atlas Shrugged kinda way? Okay maybe it’s a 10…

Passable, par for the course high-concept 90s Disney effort is too benign as it marches rigidly in lock-step in exactly the direction you expect it to, not helped by Allen’s performance: a mixture of consternation and constipation marked by too few laughs – his support cast gets the best material, though it’s disheartening to see Short revving up his apoplectic schtick with nothing to play off against; the lack of a genuine antagonist also leaves any conflict in the story gasping for air.

Was Samuel Huntington ever in anything else? I hope not.

As a kid I just thought this was alright. Any hot button topics aside, it's just not good regardless if a white kid plays native or not. Still can be a good time with some alcohol though

Obligation?

Peter Gabriel what the Hell

I didn't love the original as a kid and the american remake when I was 3 years older wasn't specially a movie I like either. In fact, I remember myself thinking how weird it was to do the same movie twice.

I recall Martin Short being funny in this toward the end of it, but that about all I can say in this film's favour.

What.

Oh Tim Allen, you should have just stuck with Home Improvement.

like a crocodile dundee for 8-year-olds

Tim Allen does comedy.

Would not recommend.

I thought it was just brilliant when I was younger. Course, I was a complete moron back then.

I think I liked this when I was a kid.

Sam Huntington is still a working actor, I guess there is a Juvenile Delinquent type program in Hollywood where they promise to forget crap you made as a child star. Then again what's the excuse for Tim Allen still working....

The jungle child wasn't even close to feral enough for me! Bah!

I liked it when I was a kid... from the looks of everyone's reviews I feel like I shouldn't watch it now.

not so good

UGH

Pain. Complete, total, pain. Even as a kid.

Surprisingly not nearly as bad as I expected. Not at all good, but far better than I thought it would be.

Oh wow, a movie about culture clash. Never seen that before [/sarcasm]

decent

The hell? Just... the hell?

Jungle 2 Jungle is for kids. That's all there is to it. Parents might not appreciate the poop and butt jokes being repeated much, so this film should probably not exist. Crap!

Kids movie. nuff said
