This very Disney treatment of the classic fish out of water story ought to satisfy its intended audiences: kids and the parents who must accompany them.

Reviews for Jungle 2 Jungle
The film is well-paced and warm-hearted, with uniform chuckles.
06/05/02
Mildly entertaining comedy about a father-son reunion.
08/29/02
Jungle 2 Jungle still finds time to appreciate Mr. Allen's easy way with a child actor, an audience or a heavily tranquilized pet cat.

Top CriticHuntington is wonderful at conveying Mimi's combination of naivete and intelligence, and Allen is a marvel.
02/14/01
Top CriticGently humorous and moving.

Trash is trash, even if it used to be in French.
01/01/00
Aside from a hilarious set piece involving a cat/tranquilliser dart interface and a vaguely entertaining Russian Mafia subplot, this is tired stuff which should have stayed at home.
01/01/00
Yet another silly Disney comedy that is strictly for kids... if you don't mind your kids being exposed to the vulgar material that passes for humor in "family movies" these days.

I for one am sick and tired of the unappealingly unoriginal fare that Disney releases on a constant basis.
01/01/00
Top CriticA fairly awful Tim Allen comedy.
10/14/05
Roughly half of Tim Allen’s latest comedy is hilarious-stupid, and the rest is monotonous-stupid.
07/28/09
Simple truths are often the most effective, but in this instance they are only banal and mildly amusing.
03/26/09
Top CriticIf you care at all about surface plausibility, adults who act like adults, or emotions that exist anywhere other than in manipulative movies, spare yourself and spare your family.
