Summary: HILARIOUS & OUCH!
Review: If I am going to sum the movie up, it will be in 2 words --- Hilarious & OUCH! 2 thumbs up to Brendan Fraser aka George who was ssssoooo hilarious. However, he is somewhat typecasted into these silly comedy roles but I've seen him act in With Honors, & I'd say he's GREAT! Ouch, becaue George, despite the long years he has spent in the jungle, still has not mastered the art of swinging from one vine to another, & often bump head-on to trees. Really a big OUCH!

Oh, before I forget,I love that smart talking ape! Such a shame, George did not take after the ape's agility :-)

Summary: Hilarious send-up...
Review: If you watched the originals as a kid (in re-runs or not), and enjoyed the sardonic humor (just as offered up in Rocky and Bullwinkle) and horrible puns, this send-up did an excellent job of offering tribute to the original without slavishly being stuck in a rut.

The plot is a bit weak and standard, but it serves as a vehicle to allow the film-makers to basically entertain themselves and those who enjoyed the humor of the original series. The originals were all about set up for the jokes anyway and this movie serves as a similar vehicle.

Certainly not food for a sequel (I hope), and perhaps not very suitable for people (adults) who didn't understand or otherwise care for the original humor or are expecting the film to stand totally on it's own, it is still great entertainment for children and old fans and may tickle your funny bone even if you haven't experience the originals.

I guess I could offer up 5 stars, yet I don't think this is the best movie ever. I still think it's an extremely entertaining piece for it's intended audience.

Summary: The Funnier Side Of Tarzan (and hotter, too...)
Review: If you thought you saw a funny movie, you haven't seen this. "George of the Jungle" brings out the funniest things in the world that will make you 'bust a gut'! Brendan Fraser plays George, the loveable, hilarious jungle man who swoons after a "perfectly permed heiress" (my favorite line) named Ursula. Shortly after meeting George, she decides to drop her engagement to Lyle (Thomas Haden Church)...and the story goes on from there. From beginning to end, this movie is nothing short of humorous; it brings out the funnier (and hotter) version of Tarzan!! ENJOY!!! :^)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fun Movie, Poor DVD Package
Review: A friend gave my kids this movie--I didn't buy it because the idea of a live-action GEORGE OF THE JUNGLE seemed silly to me. Fortunately for my family, this movie is silly in a good way, gleefully silly, with lots of physical comedy, puns, in-jokes, and high ridiculousness. This movie has good-natured fun. The casting of Fraser and Mann as George and Ursula is inspired, and Cleese as the voice of Ape works wonders. Movies that elicit joyful instead of derisive laughter deserve our attention, so unless you're sensitive about the requisite animal excrement jokes (the easiest way to avoid a "G" rating), watch this movie with your kids. Then watch it with your buddies. It might even be a good date movie.

The DVD package, however, offers another example of Disney's charging premium prices for few extras. Unfortunately, the disc is also pan-and-scan instead of widescreen. If you already own the videotape, you might as well wait and hope that Disney upgrades the DVD package.

Summary: IN THE JUNGLE. 17th april 2004.
Review: George of the jungle is all mostly in the jungle. He looks after animals, and finds a perfect friend that turns into his wife. He and his wife decide on having a kid. Fun for anyone. Can't wait to see the second. A fun movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Pardon me, Girls...
Review: I know you're all feeling pretty hey sailor up here right now. But if you'll just let me order some fried clams, we can all have smallpox in the morning. That's what Lyle accidentally says when he's trying to speak another language. And it's only the beginning of the funny moments in this movie. I watched it once a few years ago when it came out, and for some reason I didn't like it very much. Must not have been paying attention. I belive that's what's wrong with the writers of 1 star reviews. They need to watch George again. It IS very funny and the acting IS good. Period. End of story. Anything that says otherwise is mistaken. For I am the eternal victor (muahaha). Now, recently I watched it a few times more, and my whole family (ranging from age 8 to age 40) agreed that it was great. Now, we are a strange family. But when it comes to movies, we...well, let's just say if we liked it, you should like it too. Recommended, 5 stars, yadda yadda yadda. The point is, it was a good movie.

Summary: A review from Mr. Entertainment Lover
Review: Hee Hee Hee.... What a silly movie! Yes it's dumb and stupid! Still that's what makes it so funny. I have it in my video collection to watch on a day I'm bored. In this film George falls in love with a beautiful women named Ursala. However her nasty mother and her mean boyfriend won't allow it. From then on it's madness and comedy that will keep you laughing. John Cleese does an excellent job as an ape named Ape and Bredon Frasier is good as the bumbling George. This is a movie for the whole family!

Summary: I love this movie!
Review: I gotta admit that I love this movie, especially the campy bits. In case you don't know, this is a remake of Tarzan, but in this case, Baby George (Tarzan) falls out of an airplane and is raised by some very intelligent furry primates. Ursula (Jane) comes along while she is on safari with her very arrogant fiance' Lyle, and George gets to rescue Ursula. George is shocked to discover that this fella' is a woman!

Along the way, we get to see George fight a stuffed lion, see him play fetch with a little elephant (who reminds me of my Malemute), run into bridges and dress in flowing gowns. We are treated to Ursula and Lyle's engagement party with a smashed cake and an absent Lyle, and where Ursula's mother threatens George, causing him to leave San Francisco. Of course, we know how it ends- Tarzan always gets the girl, and this version is no different.

There is nothing deep here for adults, but my young children find it fascinating. Brendan Fraser was very buff for this movie, but has a sweet innocence about him that makes him a very loveable character. Leslie Mann as Ursula is beautiful, but sweet and kind as well.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: George is HOT!!
Review: Family, shmamily. I watched this movie, and will watch it again, because George is mostly naked and gorgeous. I loved his innocence and non-stop quest to get his girl. And even tho it's a kids movie it made me laugh. A sexy sweet jungle man who doesnt have a clue he's gorgeous. Good movie therapy for the single woman.
