Movie Reviews of George of the Jungle
Movie Review: The Funnier Side Of Tarzan (and hotter, too...)
Summary: 5 Stars
If you thought you saw a funny movie, you haven't seen this. "George of the Jungle" brings out the funniest things in the world that will make you 'bust a gut'! Brendan Fraser plays George, the loveable, hilarious jungle man who swoons after a "perfectly permed heiress" (my favorite line) named Ursula. Shortly after meeting George, she decides to drop her engagement to Lyle (Thomas Haden Church)...and the story goes on from there. From beginning to end, this movie is nothing short of humorous; it brings out the funnier (and hotter) version of Tarzan!! ENJOY!!! :^)Movie Review: Campy fun
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of those movies that doesn't take itself seriously, and can laugh at itself with you. There are a few moments when the fifth wall comes down, as in when the narrator directly interacts with the characters, or the characters address the viewer directly. Lots of slap stick. Good music. And a very buff and handsome Brendan Frasier. As others have noted, there are no extras on the DVD, just the movie. Still, it's a lot of fun to own and pop in the DVD player on those afternoons when you just need some lighthearted laughs and a storybook happy ending.Movie Review: Fraser & Mann have star appeal... and a sense of humor!
Summary: 5 Stars
Taking for granted that this is a kids' movie based on an underrated 60's cartoon character, the results that this movie gets are astonishing. Brendan Fraser builds a "believable" George that finds a perfect match in Mann's Ursula. The pace of the movie is perfect and the jokes are funny and on target. The perfect cast seems like an circus ensemble and makes you forget any comparison with the original toons. If you want to have a very good time with your kids or small brothers this is really an excellent alternative. Buy it.Movie Review: I really did enjoy this movie
Summary: 5 Stars
In 1997 Walt Disney Pictures released a surprisingly funny live-action version of the old George of the Jungle cartoons. This movie takes the humor of the original cartoon, and really runs with it. It's non-stop goofiness, with a little bit of bathroom humor and a little bit of romance, shaken up and delivered as a feast for your eyes.
Yeah, as you can tell, I really did enjoy this movie. It's very funny, and yet family friendly. So, if you want a movie for family-night, then get George of the Jungle!
Movie Review: Watch it AS A KID
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this movie, and can watch it repeatedly- and I'm an adult! The headline reviews for George all make reference to it's shortcomings as adult fare, so just do what I did- sit down and watch it with the kids AS A KID. Yes, it can be corny; yes, the one liners can be predictable; and yes, it can be LOTS of fun if you'll just drop your big-person pretensions and be eight again. My daughter and I can watch this as buddies, not as parent/child, and for that I am very grateful.
