Reviews for Jungle 2 Jungle
Top CriticI for one am sick and tired of the unappealingly unoriginal fare that Disney releases on a constant basis.
01/01/00
Top CriticPoor Tim Allen looks positively embarrassed throughout the picture, even when he's trying to rescue it.
01/01/00
Mildly entertaining comedy about a father-son reunion.
08/29/02
I'm sorry to say that most of the children in the audience ate this crap up, which is just another disturbing sign that America's youth is in trouble.
01/01/00
No one is allowed to think in this movie. Not one single event in the entire plot can possibly take place unless every character in the cast has brains made of Bac-o-Bits.
01/01/00
Top CriticYet 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.
01/01/00
The film is well-paced and warm-hearted, with uniform chuckles.
06/05/02
Typically for Disney, the villains aren't made of very stern stuff, nor indeed is fey spear-carrying Mimi-Siku.
06/24/06
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, Jungle 2 Jungle.
01/01/00
Top CriticSimple truths are often the most effective, but in this instance they are only banal and mildly amusing.
03/26/09
Top CriticMildly caustic, sentimental and slow.
06/18/02
Top CriticNow if only it was even slightly better than those examples of Hollywood at its laziest.
07/28/09
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.
01/01/00
Top CriticYou'd think someone would have figured out by now that putting a big TV star in a lame movie doesn't make the movie any better.
10/15/02
Roughly half of Tim Allen’s latest comedy is hilarious-stupid, and the rest is monotonous-stupid.
07/28/09
Top CriticThe material is so fowl that even a rewrite by Quentin Tarantino couldn't help it.
01/01/00
Allen just looks like he realizes he is much smarter than this material.
01/01/00
With the dearth of kids' movies, it's good to see one even if it's only mildly funny.
