Jungle 2 Jungle
Uptight New York City executive, Michael Cromwell, pursues his soon-to-be ex-wife to South America and returns home with the son he never knew he had—a boy raised in a tribal village in Brazil. Armed with only his blowgun, the 13-year-old Mimi-Siku discovers that the world outside his jungle home is indeed a strange place.
Critics Sentiment
Michael and Mimi-Siku fight off Jovanovic using jungle skills
Mimi-Siku eats Richard Kempster's prize-winning tropical fish
The film's biggest swing occurs from the universally panned fish-eating scene to the more engaging mobster threat sequence, rising 2.4 points as actual stakes were introduced.
Jungle 2 Jungle follows a predictable sentiment arc that starts mediocre and dips significantly during its middle culture-clash comedy sequences, which critics found repetitive and unfunny. The film recovers somewhat during its action climax with the Russian mobsters before settling into a formulaic but acceptable ending. Overall, reviewers saw it as a tired remake that offered nothing new to the fish-out-of-water genre, though some found moments of mild entertainment.
