I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

... View MoreI use to watch this movie all the time since I owned this on video, and it was a fun movie to see. It is pretty cheesy, but it's still enjoyable nonetheless. It gets better as the movie progresses. There are some really funny scenes. Tim Allen is what made this movie enjoyable to watch. Even if you add the performances of all of the other cast members of this movie, it still wouldn't matchup to Tim Allen's performance. I don't think anyone else could've played his role any better otherwise Jungle 2 Jungle would've been a disappointment. The movie shouldn't be taken too seriously since it's just an enjoyable family flick! Nothing else to say really.
... View MoreAs someone who has never enjoyed a Tim Allen movie, I was not thrilled when my young son said he wanted to watch this. But as a doting Dad I duly obliged.Plot In A Paragraph: A New York broker (Tim Allen) goes to find his wife with whom he has long since separated to ask for a divorce so he can remarry. His treck takes him to the Amazon where she revealed she was pregnant when they separated, and he now has a son. Chaos ensues when father and son try and bond back in New York.My thoughts while watching this were.....WOW Tim Allen is annoying. WOW Tim Allen REALLY over acts. WOW how the hell did this guy carve out an acting career?? WOW what the hell happened to Martin Shorts career that he is doing this?? WOW Martin Short has a really bad dye job. My word those are some bad effects.HEY there is a young Leelee Sobieski!! We don't see enough of JoBeth Williams on screen!! So in summary while it's interesting to see a young Leelee Sobieski, (having probably her first on screen kiss) and she was a talented stand out then. And it's always nice to see JoBeth Williams this really is one to miss, unless you are a fan of any of the stars.
... View MoreThat's the question I still have in my head: what in the country-fried flying flip is a putchi-butchi?! I see that Tim Allen is in it, so this movie can't be that bad, right. WRONG!!!! I applaud at Tim Allen's performance as Buzz Lightyear in the Toy Story Trilogy, but why should a talented actor like him star in this movie? Well, let's take a quick tour in this movie. Over to your right, you'll see a pigeon shot by Mimi-siku with a blow dart on the top of a building in New York City. Wait, a pigeon shot with a blow dart? Wow, now this movie is stooping to a new low with it's Cannibal Holocaust-like plot line where real, actual animals get killed through the eyes of the camera. How subtle. And then, Mimi-siku climbs into a woman's bedroom and says "Nice Putchi-Butchi". From what he said, I can tell it was something very dirty, like a woman's--- EWWWWW!!! Don't make me say it! Jungle 2 Jungle is like a kid's movie version of Cannibal Holocaust and it's a piece of elephant diarrhea.
... View MoreTim Allen plays an uptight New York stockbroker who ends up having to look after the teenage son he never knew he had, and who has grown up in the South American jungle.The convoluted set up leads to a straightforward family movie full of simple knockabout humour. The fish out of water antics of the boy are the main substance of the film, but there are additional threads: the gradual father-son bonding, a young love story, a Russian criminal, the realisation that different values may not necessarily be worse, for instance...This is not a sophisticated movie, but it is enjoyable for family viewing. Tim Allen anchors it well, Martin Short, Jobeth Williams and David Ogden Stiers offer sterling support, and it is good to see Sam Huntington and Leelee Sobieski in young roles.
