This cinematic atrocity truly is one of the all-time worsts.

To describe the film as inept would be to miss the point, which is to present Mrs. Derek in as many different poses, nude and seminude, as there are days of the year, all in something less than two hours.

Top CriticOf course it's completely ridiculous, but at the same time it has a certain disarming charm.

Top Critic"Produced" by Bo and "directed and photographed" by John, Tarzan reduced Edgar Rice Burrough's far-from-classic work to the level of a magazine spread on a Playboy bunny in the, er, bush.

If you want to see Bo at the peak of her acting powers, check out Tommy Boy instead, where she plays a plastic stereotype.
09/29/02
not even funny as modern irony
06/03/04
Silliness abounds, so much so that the picture comes off closer to a comedy than the romantic action-adventure it was meant to be.
07/04/04
This opus will disappoint both Tarzan fans and Bo admirers.

Top CriticPainfully dull.

Judging by the amount of time everybody spends swimming, the African jungle resembles Hornsey Baths filled with oversized pot plants.

Truly forgettable, except for Bo's booty
