Product description Disney's VHS tape .com Though half the cast has changed from the first George of the Jungle, the silliness and self-referential jokes remain--for example, in an unusual display of professional honesty, Christopher Showerman explains to the audience that he's the new George because the producers were too cheap to re-hire Brendan Fraser. While a mean lion (voiced by Michael Clarke Duncan, The Green Mile) connives to take over running the jungle world, George's wife Ursula (Julie Benz) is imperiled when her mother and her former fiancé (Thomas Haden Church, returning from the first movie) scheme to bring her back to civilization through kidnapping and hypnosis. Though George of the Jungle 2 aims its combination of goofy humor and computer-generated animals at kids, the camera spends a lot of time ogling Showerman's buffed body. --Bret Fetzer

Kind of cheesy, doesn't bring back it's star, but not bad for a family comedy to laugh together over.
If you loved George of the Jungle (the first film) then you will probably enjoy this movie enough. The biggest drawback to this film is that it does not star Brendan Fraser. His replacement just comes off as a cheesy goofball. Fraser's George was still goofy because that's the nature of the character and franchise but he manages to pull it off in likeable way. This movie is okay as a family flick once or spaced out with a year or more between viewings but I think most adults would not want to re-watch it much. My (at the time of viewing) 7 year old son loved it as much as the first, my 13 year old son said it was okay, and my 14 year old daughter thought it was tolerable but annoying... I think it's target market is 10 and under. It's a sequel so I didn't have high standards for it but I felt it could have done better and really should have had Fraser reprise the role. But it was still funny enough and had a moderately decent plot and okay acting that I would say it was okay. I personally would say 3 stars but my 7 year old says 5 so I think it probably deserves 4 stars as an average between us.

HORRIBLE MOVIE
I see why the original characters didn't want to be in the 2nd movie, except for the one who played lyle. The 1st. Movie was real sweet, cute, romantic. Left you with love in your heart. The cast of the 1st movie prob. read the script for 2, and thought what I saw, that this movie was a joke. It was so bad that It ruined my happy wonderful thoughts of the 1st movie. So bad that I had to watch 1 again just to get it back. The whole thing was just stupid. I am so glad I rented here and not paid for my whole family to go see it when it came out. The best part of the movie was that they played johnny cleggs song dela again, which I love.

OK, but definitely a letdown after the original
It was OK, but definitely a letdown after the original. We were all disappointed all the "stars" of the original movie except Thomas Haden Church were gone as replaced with no-name actors. Not that that is necessarily bad, it is just that they didn't have the charm or comedic timing as the original actors. Also, the script wasn't as good as it just wasn't as funny or cute as the original movie.

Brillaint bit of adult and child comedy
We had George of the jungle on vhs and my daughter absolutely cracked up watching it so wanted to get it on dvd since the vcr had broken and even better found there was a sequel!Both are entertaining my Daughter loved the 2nd just as much, though for me i had difficulty relating to the new cast in the 2nd i just wanted Brendan again for the excellent natural expressions.All in all can't fault both, enjoyable with laughter and for the price you can't go wrong :)
