What sets the film apart is a script that has the good sense to laugh at itself.

Surprisingly pleasant.

Not quite inspired lunacy, the film has a game, likable quality and strong sequel potential.

The story is incidental -- the villain wants to abduct the talking ape for financial gain -- and thankfully the animatronics and computer effects aren't allowed to overwhelm the proceedings.

A pleasant surprise, one of the most witty, entertaining family films to come out in some time.

George George, George of the Jungle. Boom boom BOOM BOOM . . . Oh, please shut up.

There is not a banana's worth of plot in the Dana Olsen and Audrey Wells script to offer narrative nourishment.

This live-action Disney version is so silly, so garishly over-the-top, and so bracingly eager to please, that it's hard not to fall under its gleefully gooney spell.

It's amusing, which is possibly as much as anyone could ask, and the assortedly animated friends are cleverly done.

George of the Jungle may be unsophisticated, but it is enjoyable.

An amiable, highly ingratiating piece of lowbrow entertainment, and the audience of mainly young children and parents I saw it with on Saturday night clearly had a ball. So did I.

A few hip smarts get displayed here and there in this de facto, broadly comic Tarzan picture, which only reinforces the flailing feel that pervades a 92-minute running time.

What really makes this work is Fraser, who plays it to the hilt.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

The movie would meander along, not going anywhere, and then -- pow! -- there'd be an enormous laugh. More meandering, and then pow! again.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 1, 2000

Part screwball romance, part special-effects adventure.
