This silly adventure with Casper Van Dien as the latest Lord of the Apes comes across more like a sequel to George of the Jungle, but without the laughs.

Occasionally getting drawn into movies like this is the downside of having HBO when you're stuck at home with nothing to do. Do whatever you have to--mow the lawn, clean the garage, re-grout the bathroom tiles--but stay away.

No, no, no -- Casper Van Dien is NOT Tarzan!

Not only it is poorly written, badly acted, and generally incompetent in all cinematic areas, it is thoroughly uninspired

An obviously silly, stupid and lame movie that borders on SyFy made-for-TV quality, but strikes me as knowing that it's exactly that. And it's entertaining enough and doesn't overstay whatever welcome it has by breezing right by at 80 minutes.
