Summary: Lyle!!!
Review: Thomas Haden Church is AWESOME as Lyle Van de Groot!
He's so sexy! I'd take a shower with him under the big expensive waterfall set anytime!
Oh, if Ursula doesn't want him, I'll gladly take him. Somebody has to love a nice, funny, evil man.

Summary: Dumb but yet funny
Review: When I first saw this movie I kept saying to my self "why am I laughing at this stupid movie?" Comedy has to be a very hard genre to do because you need to hit the buttons just right. The number of sight gags is reminisent of "Airplane!" and "Hot Shots!" Brenden Fraser was terrific. In his more recent films he has shown himself to be a very versitile actor especially in "Gods and Monsters" The elephant who acts like a dog is purely hysterical. John Cleese was perfect as the talking ape named ape. The scene in which ape teaches George how to get Ursula is purely histerical. Out of the three recent live adaptations of Jay Ward cartoons, George of the Jungle is the best.

Summary: A great date movie!
Review: No, I'm serious, this really IS a great date movie! (And I actually did watch it on a date, by the way.) It has a sweet romance and plenty of slapstick and witty humor. And not forgetting to mention Brendan Fraser's appeal to both men and women (women like him for his charm and good looks, men like him for his goofiness and ability at physical humor). It really does take a talented actor like Fraser to be able to portray a cartoon character and pull it off so well. He is the only actor who can smack into trees and speak with the vocabulary of a 5-year-old and still make the audience root for him as a hero! I think many people will be surprised at how entertaining, well-written, and well-acted this movie is. Some automatically write it off as a "kids movie", but I believe only adults can really fully appreciate its wit and satire. I was one of those people once--I thought it would be a stupid kids movie until I started reading some good reviews about it and decided to see it in the theater with a friend. It quickly became one of my favorite movies, and I've been watching it frequently with friends, family, and dates ever since!

Summary: I LOVE IT!!!
Review: [...] this is the best thing since sliced bread. Sooooo funny and cute! I laughed so hard when I first saw it in the theaters that I swear the people around me thought that either I was a lunatic or I thought the seats were tickly. Brendan Frasier at his VERY best, totally hilarious! A definite must-rent or better, must-buy!

Summary: "George Of The Jungle" is funny!
Review: This movie or should I say remake is funny, why it is even better than the cartoon, and it's made from Walt Disney Pictures, why I give this 5 stars.

Summary: Swinging Disney Film
Review: This film was made in the great tradition of Walt Disney's live action films aimed at the adolescent audience that his studio produced in the 60s and continued into the 70s. It works beautifully tweaking the formula for the 90's audiences. Brendan Fraser is perfect as George in his own likeable but not very bright way. You really feel for this guy because he wants to do what is right and get the job done. The special effects are excellent because they not only look good but they add to the effect of the storytelling and create an innovative world for the audience to immerse themselves into. The casting is also good. Thomas Hayden Church as an equally not-very-bright cad is perfect. You almost feel sorry for this guy. John Cleese doing the voice of Ape is a riot. He has several funny scenes, especially near the very end. This is film is excellent no matter what age you are. I highly recommend this one.

Summary: Just when you thought DUMB couldn't get any dumber...YIKES!
Review: I teach 4th grade and have opportunities to treat my class to down-time in form of "video afternoons" about once each month. When I sreened this "comedy" for possible viewing in my classroom (I can't afford unpleasant surprises), I was soon convinced that 10 year olds' intelligence would be insulted if presented with this nonsense. This "big budget" film version can't hold a candle to the cartoon series I remember from my childhood. What happened? Why do Hollywood Executives assume that today's kids are a few notches behind their parents? The jokes seemed "dummied down", which makes them appear "forced" and completely un-funny. This film, obviously, did not "make it" to the show. The only film I've "screened" lately even worse than this one was "Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls". Destroy that one on sight! This year's biggest hit with my 4th graders: "Dennis The Menace" (with Walter Matthau) and anything starring the character "Mr. Bean" (available in bite-size TV show format, 2 30 min. episodes per video).

Summary: 18-month-old got the joke
Review: Okay, this is one of my little boy's favorite movies. Granted he hasn't seen very many in his short life, but I can't believe how he took to it! It's second only to a free Jack Stone video that we got from the Lego company. I just had to share that he laughs every time it gets to the part where Ursula meets Ape for the first time, and terrified, she asks George "What does it want?!" and Ape replies exasperatedly, "IT wants ITS physician's desk reference, if you don't mind" and picks up a heavy tome to read. My son laughs and laughs while saying "Book!" I personally enjoy this movie very much, and I would much rather watch this one over and over than something like Barney!

Summary: Great supporting cast
Review: This movie is pretty funny. In fact, most of the funniest parts are from George's intelligent gorilla friend or the safari guides. Good fun.
