Jungle2Jungle is adequate family fare, not much more.

This very Disney treatment of the classic fish out of water story ought to satisfy its intended audiences: kids and the parents who must accompany them.

Rated: 2.5/4

This Disney comedy was pretty good. Tim Allen, Martin Short, Sam Huntington, JoBeth Williams, Leelee Sobieski, Lolita Davidovich, and the rest of the cast did a pretty good job in this movie. The story of the movie was entertaining and humorous. It's about a father that has a son he didn't know he had and they spend time together in each others' villages. If you haven't seen this movie yet, you might enjoy it. It wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either.
