Watch out for that sequel indeed!

ANGUS T. JONES! Yes, the cute little funny kid from "Two And A Half Men" ! !
And Julie Benz is in it too!

The first movie was self-aware, made jokes at it's own expense and stuff like that... This one, takes it to a whole new level... even to the point of "Me new George. Studio too cheap to pay Brendan Fraser" which makes me smile!!

STORY: 2/7
Unhappy with George and Ursula's happiness, Ursula's mother Beatrice decide's to coax Ursula and Junior back to the city. Then there's Lyle and a hypnotist and a group of angry women and a gambling problem.

ACTING: 4/7
Angus T. Jones! Nuff said?
Christopher Showerman is pretty good at the whole "Me so dumb" gag and he's pretty buff too. (i know that isn't acting, but it's part of the character) Julie Benz (who i love) is actually a little bit annoying at Ursula. Thomas Haden Church is probably the stand out again as Lyle.

OVERALL: 5/7

This movie was FUN!

I always overlook this movie as a bit of childish supidity, however, when we watched it again the other day (yesterday) I was reminded of just how much fun this movie is. It does do the whole dumb kids movie thing, but then there's the intelligence of a narrator who can actually interact with the movie (done the GOOD way, not like Perfect Opposites) and John Cleese as "Ape."

STORY: 4/7
George has been raised by the animals of the jungle (tarzan anyone?) and has never met another person. Enter Ursula and Lyle. When they are attacked by a lion, Lyle shows himself for the coward that he is and Ursula is rescued by George. They then get to another better and maybe even fall in love. As things go on, Ursula is forced to take George back to the city which leads top some crazy fun.

ACTING: 5/7
It's always a bit hard to judge someone's acting when they're just being really stupid. That being said, i'm gonna say Brendan Fraser did really well as George. Thomas Haden Church was probably my favourite acting though, as Lyle Van De Groot.

* John Cleese as Ape the ape *

SCORE / SOUND: 4/7
who DOESN'T know the song... "George George George of the Jungle..."
most of the score is more of that.


OVERALL: 4.5/7
