I use to watch this movie all the time since I owned this on video, and it was a fun movie to see. It is pretty cheesy, but it's still enjoyable nonetheless. It gets better as the movie progresses. There are some really funny scenes. Tim Allen is what made this movie enjoyable to watch. Even if you add the performances of all of the other cast members of this movie, it still wouldn't matchup to Tim Allen's performance. I don't think anyone else could've played his role any better otherwise Jungle 2 Jungle would've been a disappointment. The movie shouldn't be taken too seriously since it's just an enjoyable family flick! Nothing else to say really.

That's the question I still have in my head: what in the country-fried flying flip is a putchi-butchi?! I see that Tim Allen is in it, so this movie can't be that bad, right. WRONG!!!! I applaud at Tim Allen's performance as Buzz Lightyear in the Toy Story Trilogy, but why should a talented actor like him star in this movie? Well, let's take a quick tour in this movie. Over to your right, you'll see a pigeon shot by Mimi-siku with a blow dart on the top of a building in New York City. Wait, a pigeon shot with a blow dart? Wow, now this movie is stooping to a new low with it's Cannibal Holocaust-like plot line where real, actual animals get killed through the eyes of the camera. How subtle. And then, Mimi-siku climbs into a woman's bedroom and says "Nice Putchi-Butchi". From what he said, I can tell it was something very dirty, like a woman's--- EWWWWW!!! Don't make me say it! Jungle 2 Jungle is like a kid's movie version of Cannibal Holocaust and it's a piece of elephant diarrhea.

Tim Allen embarrasses himself while his supporting actor, Mimi, shows the audience his wide range of acting skills with go from making a very ugly face to making an even uglier face. Disney completely misses the mark as it wraps up its story of a son looking for acceptance from his father when ultimately the movie comes to its climax when Tim Allen buys his 13 year old son a cigarette lighter. Subplots are commended as they are so ridiculous that they're at least not tired and over used. I would have never thought to throw in a Russian mafia member, but it doesn't make the movie "work" and it certainly doesn't make it any more bearable. Leaving Tim Allen out of it, the most off putting aspect of the movie is the pedophilia-like dress code of the young children coupled with the pre-teen romance.This movie was so bad that Disney didn't even try. This statement is punctuated perfectly with the freeze shot ending. Would not recommend.

This movie is solid fun. It's typical Tim Allen, which means that if you like him you should enjoy the movie. He employs lots of quick wit, sarcasm, and slapstick self-deprivation. The son does a mostly believable job with the typical fish out of water story. He climbs out on the ledge of a Manhattan skyscraper and also climbs to the top of the statue of liberty to see the "fire up the sky's butt". The supporting cast puts in workman quality acting as well. The real mom (JoBeth Williams) is believable as a post 60's Peace Corp leftover and villain played by David Ogden Stiers (M*A*S*H) is terrific as a scary and quirky Russian mafia boss. It is a down the middle Disney pre-teen movie and fun.
