Profile of George of the Jungle

George of the Jungle can be described as feel good and humorous. The plot revolves around a "fish out of water", a rescue, and a situation where nothing goes right. The main genres are comedy, adventure, and family. In approach, George of the Jungle is fantastical. It is set, at least in part, in a jungle and in an urban environment. It is located in San Francisco and Africa. George of the Jungle takes place in the 1990s. It is based on a TV series and a remake. The movie has received attention for being a blockbuster and an award winner. George of the Jungle is well suited for kids, a family outing, and teens. Note that it involves mild violent content.

Summary of George of the Jungle

The clumsy ape man from Jay Ward's 1967 television cartoon takes on a jungle of another kind in live-action when he follows a visiting San Francisco resident back to the City by the Bay. There aren't as many trees, but he somehow manages to find plenty of other things to crash into--not the least of which are modern society's social norms.

Critics Reviews

Variety
Not quite inspired lunacy, the film has a game, likable quality.
Los Angeles Times
Sporadically playful, it ends up wearing as thin as any film geared to a preteen sense of humor is bound to do.

Users Reviews

Not anyone's kind of movie
Anyone having had remote contact with any aspects of this movie should be thankful for their innate resilience to aneurysms.
Likely to see
Not for me
