ChikPapa Very disappointed :(
Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!
Blucher One of the worst movies I've ever seen
Forumrxes Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.
drsonoma I'll admit I gave this movie a try because there was nothing else on, but it turned out to be funny, with a great deal of skill on the actors and actresses parts. Allen portrayed the father rather well, and the kid who played Mi-Mi, (I don't remember the actor's name), did an excellent job. The casting staff did their job in picking a decent crew to act.If you're looking for a movie that has an intricate plot, don't watch this one. The plot is quite simple and predictable, after all it's a Disney film, but it's still something I would advise one to rent some night.
mOVIemAN56 Michael Cromwell (Tim Allen) is a wealthy commodity broker in New york City. But after wanting to marry his girlfriend, he must divorce his old wife living in Brazil. After traveling to Brazil he finds out that he has a son who has been raised in an Indian tribe. Deciding to bond with the boy, he brings back Mimi-Siku (Sam Huntington) to New York and that's were the fun begins. Nimi-Siku learns to adapt to the city, finds fun in climbing on the buildings, and living with his father calling him 'Bamboo'. it is a good family bonding film with some fine acting by Tim Allen in his one of his earliest comedy roles. Sam Huntington is very funny and mostly on accident in seeing a fish out of water story. You'll laugh and you'll really enjoy the fun presented in this family bonding story.Jungle 2 Jungle. Starring: Tim Allen, Sam Huntington, Leelee Sobieski, and Martin Short.3 1/2 out of 5 Stars.

pettypetree This movie is solid fun. It's typical Tim Allen, which means that if you like him you should enjoy the movie. He employs lots of quick wit, sarcasm, and slapstick self-deprivation. The son does a mostly believable job with the typical fish out of water story. He climbs out on the ledge of a Manhattan skyscraper and also climbs to the top of the statue of liberty to see the "fire up the sky's butt". The supporting cast puts in workman quality acting as well. The real mom (JoBeth Williams) is believable as a post 60's Peace Corp leftover and villain played by David Ogden Stiers (M*A*S*H) is terrific as a scary and quirky Russian mafia boss. It is a down the middle Disney pre-teen movie and fun.
