Deep in the African jungle, a baby named George, the sole survivor of a plane crash, is raised by gorillas. George grows up to be a buff and lovable klutz who has a rain forest full of animal friends: Tookie, his big-beaked toucan messenger; Ape, a witty talking gorilla; and Shep, a peanut-loving pooch of an elephant.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

If you can get past a couple of cheap toilet humor parts, the rest of this movie is so well made. It's like a masterpiece really. Not even all the toilet humor parts are bad. It's a classic. Just keep up with the fast pace and finish it, and you'll be a fan forever.

Disney screwed up big time by including a line from the narrator in the film about "don't worry, none of the people die, they just get boo boos" and then DID NOT make the same statement around a scene involving beating up on a lion. BAD FORM DISNEY. There was also a fight scene that was unnecessarily violent and long. The one scene catching George out of his clothes was cute and nothing showed, but it was done in a way that made it clear he was really naked, one more thing knocking it off the list for children under I'd say the age of 13 or 14.

In 1997 my brothers and I went to see George Of The Jungle in theaters and let me tell you I have never heard a theater so loud with laughterThat is what this film is full with of comedy and humor so much so that you will be quoting the lines that made you laugh. To this day I quote this movie with some of my favorite scenes.Sure this movie isn't a masterpiece based of a classic cartoon show but nevertheless the movie did some things right to make everyone laugh and it still rank this as one of my favorite movies that I saw in theaters. Brendan Fraser was brilliant as George, this is one of the few rare times in comedy films were an actor was born to play a role and Brendan was just the right man for the job because he help brought the film to life. When you watch his performance you'll be laughing for sure. Leslie Mann was beautiful as Ursula and she made for a interesting character for the film. Thomas Haden Church as Lyle Van de Groot was just a smart choice because he played a character we all hated Keith Scott was brilliant as The Narrator and he help made the film a good one to watch. Even his jokes will make you laughThe film does have a good story to help with the film and there is some interesting character story telling through the film that is better if you watch the film to understand more of what I meanGeorge Of The Jungle feature some of the most creative comedy bits you can ever have in a family film while it's PG rating it still a funny film that everyone in the film can watchTrust me and watch this movie you'll be glad you didI give George Of The Jungle an 8 out of 10

This promised to be an entertaining family flick. The ingredients seem just right, talking animals, lady falls in love with a jungle man, fiancé gets jealous etc. Brendan Fraser pulls of the role reasonably well. John Cleese is well cast as the voice of an ape. However the rest is pulled off terribly. Barring the special effects (which are actually very good), there is little more in this film that might move it up the 'must watch holiday family flick' list. A lot more could and should have been made of this and what little slapstick there is could have been even funnier. the action however is reasonably well choreographed. The problem is that most of it is quite 'reasonable' and not a single element is outstanding.
