Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

George of the Jungle is a cool movie about an ape man living in the jungle. This movie is kind of a copy of Tarzan, but it isn't awful. This movie was funny, and it was also a little boring. This movie to me wasn't making since at times. A guy falling of a bridge 30 stories high, then he survives, and there's another scene where a bad guy shoots George in the head, and then George lives! Brendon Fraser's performance as George was wonderful, and this movie also has John Cleeese, and Thomas Haden Church. The song at the begging of the movie was cool because it starts out as a cartoon, and then after the song, the live action starts. I would only revisit the funny parts of the movie, I would rather not watch the whole thing.

"George of the Jungle" was released in 1997 to moderate critical acclaim, children love the movie, it is very cartoonish. What some people fail to recognize or don't know is that this film is a remake of a 1967 cartoon TV series.John Cleese co-stars as the voice of the "Ape named Ape" which is probably the funniest part of the film. Also, the elephant who acts and thinks he is a dog, Shemp is pure Disney fun.Thomas Haden Church plays the seemingly bad guy Lyle Van de Groot, and Leslie Mann plays Ursula Stanhope, the good girl. They went into the jungle as a couple, but Ursula and George leave together.A love story like Tarzan & Jane!

The only truly memorable scene in this movie was the stunt at the Golden Gate Bridge-it was actually rather impressive. The rest, however, was trite, dull, and repetitive. George, an inept Tarzan-like man, is found by Ursula in the jungle, and she takes him to the city, and of course there are problems with that.The original "George Of The Jungle" episodes were short cartoons, not necessarily suited for conversion to a feature-length film, as other such efforts such as "Dudley Do-Right" have proved. Though the movie does make a real effort to keep as close to the original cartoon as possible, the sad truth is that the whole thing just didn't work. Fortunately, the fad for such efforts has long died off, so we don't have to worry about seeing Hong Kong Phooey or Tennessee Tuxedo getting such treatment.

Those who know me know I HATE stupid comedy. I must admit that I watched this movie simply because B. Fraser starred in it: I have a long-standing crush on the man.I knew, going into it, that it'd be a silly movie with dull humor. Still, I was pleasantly surprised.The humor is dry and stupid most of the time, but the storyline makes up for it. And, as I recall from my childhood, George was always a bit dimwitted anyway. So I could deal with the stupidity of the movie and enjoy it for what it was--a child's film with adult undertones.And Brendan Fraser in a loincloth......need I say more?
