Get a little savage!
The laughs are unmistakably wild in this outrageously funny hit comedy starring film favourites Tim Allen and Martin Short. When successful broker Michael Cromwell (Tim) travels to the Amazon jungle to get his wife's signature on divorce papers, he discovers the surprise of his life. He has a 13-year-old son who's been raised among the natives! After Michael agrees to take the boy back to his own jungle, New York city, he quickly learns the teen has more skill with blow darts than with the social graces. Fitting in with Michael's frivolous fiancée and high strung business partner (Martin) won't be easy... but it will be hilarious. Don't miss all the fun as this mismatched father-son duo try to find some common ground.

Bad 2 worse.
This is yet another TV star tries to make it in the movies exploitation crap film based on a script that makes soggy toilet paper look trustworthy, ripped off from another French film for the benefit of a tired Hollywood studio system, Jungle 2 jungle presents a stereotyped view of every character, situation, culture and tradition. And they aren't favourable stereotypes, either.
The humour is beneath infantile, making Jim Carrey sound like Shakespeare: imagine Con the fruiterer, but not as insightfully witty. The acting is abysmal (makes Con the fruiterer seem like Shakespeare), the production is so sanitised that it makes Bambi look like a Nazi party reunion held at the Sodom and Gomorrah Hilton.
I wouldn't wipe my arse on this movie even if the alternative was rusty barbed wire. Don't even get it to entertain the kids over Xmas.
