Tim Allen spends Jungle 2 Jungle annoyed and put upon, mirroring audiences' reaction as they struggle through this witless family comedy.

Jungle2Jungle is adequate family fare, not much more.

Roughly half of Tim Allen's latest comedy is hilarious-stupid, and the rest is monotonous-stupid.

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.

It may not be as good a fish-out-of-water story as The Little Mermaid but Tim Allen and some of the other actors make it enjoyable enough for me.

Jungle 2 Jungle is a light, harmless comedy that works well enough in the moment, even if it doesn’t leave a lasting impression. Tim Allen brings his familiar charm to a story built on simple humor and easy family entertainment. The screenplay has noticeable issues, especially when it comes to pacing and excitement, and it never fully develops into something memorable or emotionally engaging. Still, the film maintains a fun, corny energy that fits the Disney style of the era. It doesn’t aim to be groundbreaking; it aims to entertain, and in that sense it succeeds just enough. While the movie may feel bland at times and certainly isn’t perfect, it offers a pleasant, nostalgic watch. It’s worth checking out once for some easy laughs, even though it’s not a film you’ll return to often.

This movie gets a lot of hate but it’s good for a good laugh. Showing kids this romp from the 90’s is a good time.
