Minahzur Rahman I use to watch this movie all the time since I owned this on video, and it was a fun movie to see. It is pretty cheesy, but it's still enjoyable nonetheless. It gets better as the movie progresses. There are some really funny scenes. Tim Allen is what made this movie enjoyable to watch. Even if you add the performances of all of the other cast members of this movie, it still wouldn't matchup to Tim Allen's performance. I don't think anyone else could've played his role any better otherwise Jungle 2 Jungle would've been a disappointment. The movie shouldn't be taken too seriously since it's just an enjoyable family flick! Nothing else to say really.
Neil Welch Tim Allen plays an uptight New York stockbroker who ends up having to look after the teenage son he never knew he had, and who has grown up in the South American jungle.The convoluted set up leads to a straightforward family movie full of simple knockabout humour. The fish out of water antics of the boy are the main substance of the film, but there are additional threads: the gradual father-son bonding, a young love story, a Russian criminal, the realisation that different values may not necessarily be worse, for instance...This is not a sophisticated movie, but it is enjoyable for family viewing. Tim Allen anchors it well, Martin Short, Jobeth Williams and David Ogden Stiers offer sterling support, and it is good to see Sam Huntington and Leelee Sobieski in young roles.
Kristine Jungle 2 Jungle was a family film, not exactly the movie that the Oscars were meant for. I've been noticing how a lot of Tim Allen movies get a lot of heat, I'm wondering if it is just Tim or it is his movies. But I thought that Jungle 2 Jungle was a silly, but fun family film. Yeah, it was incredibly unrealistic, especially dealing with the Russian Mafia, but it was fit for the family to watch.Tim Allen is a trader in New York who is visiting his ex wife in a remote island with natives. But he finds out that they had a son, the mother has raised him in the tribes and Miki, the son, has only experienced no more than his native island. But now that he's become a man to the tribe, he wishes to see the city with his father. But it's going to be a hard task when Miki only knows the rules of the jungle and Tim needing to get his priorities straight.Yeah, it's extremely predictable and from what I understand there is a movie called "An Indian In Paris", it's the same plot, but I think some stories need to be reborn for a new generation. I think people just need to give this movie a chance, it has a few little laughs, especially that cat passing out from the dart! How could you not laugh? 5/10
Seth Nelson 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
