A magical board game unleashes a world of adventure on siblings Peter (Bradley Pierce) and Judy Shepherd (Kirsten Dunst). While exploring an old mansion, the youngsters find a curious, jungle-themed game called Jumanji in the attic. When they start playing, they free Alan Parrish (Robin Williams), who's been stuck in the game's inner world for decades. If they win Jumanji, the kids can free Alan for good -- but that means braving giant bugs, ill-mannered monkeys and even stampeding rhinos!

What to Know

Critics Consensus

A feast for the eyes with a somewhat malnourished plot, Jumanji is an underachieving adventure that still offers a decent amount of fun for the whole family.

Rita Kempley Washington Post The technology both overwhelms the human cast and stalls the narrative drive. Even Williams's manic energy finally flags. Apr 20, 2022 Full Review Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald The humans are wooden, the computer-animals have that floating, jerky gait of animated fauna. Aug 19, 2015 Full Review Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly The filmmakers... re-create safari beasts with wizardly finesse but can’t think of anything to do with them but zap you. Rated: C+ Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid Time has softened it, especially given the passing of star Robin Williams, and it's an enjoyable watch. Rated: 3/4 Jun 13, 2024 Full Review Gary Wolcott Tri-City Herald If board games are your bag, I submit a hot night of Parcheesi might be more fun. Rated: 3/5 Dec 20, 2023 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins With plenty of laughs, action-packed excitement, great music (by James Horner), spectacular sets, and inspirational themes, this film is an absolutely winning adventure. Rated: 9/10 Sep 14, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
