Such a frustrating disappointment

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Disney came out with this good live action film in 1997. It is called "Jungle 2 Jungle," and this is an updated, American version of a similar French film called "Little Indian, Big City," which was also released here in the states around the time this movie was released.It stars Tim Allen, the man of "Home Improvement," and he worked in the international trade business in New York City. He was asked to fly on down to the Amazon jungles to meet his "son," who I think is called "Mimi-Siku," which has quite a funny meaning to it. He had brought him back to New York and showed his "son" the concrete jungle, as it is known (hey, the same happened in one scene of "George of the Jungle!" About the name, not being there, I mean.)"Jungle 2 Jungle" is one movie that can't be missed!!!!! I've seen this on Disney Channel (old and new) for years now!!!!!10/10

You have to give credit to the Disney regime circa 1997 for their bravado: they took a critically-lambasted French farce from 1995 called "Little Indian Big City" and remade it with their number one television star in the lead. Although "Jungle 2 Jungle" features the typically high Disney production standards, it is offensive and disastrous. Tim Allen just coasts through playing commodities broker in New York City who tracks down his estranged wife to the Amazon jungle; there, he finds for the first time he has fathered a son. Fish-out-of-water nonsense is well-produced, but loud, irritating and hammy, with screaming actors bellowing at the camera (Martin Short and Bob Dishy are the worst offenders). Kids might enjoy some of the one-liners and sight-gags, but the film has practically nil adult appeal. *1/2 from ****

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.

My opinion on Jungle 2 Jungle is not as harsh, the movie was cute. The fact that it was a remake isn't my complaint because it is really hard to find movies that haven't been remade from other foreign or alternative films. I give movies at least one chance. Tim Allen is, as usual, comedic while being a bit on the crazy side, but still funny in all the ways you would want him to be, if you like him. You are also introduced to Leelee Sobieski in her feature film debut (she had been in TV movies, but not really big movies till Jungle 2 Jungle came out). The movie in general is a great family flick, one that everyone can enjoy. I believe that is should be given at least one chance, so go out and rent this fun movie.
