I'm not sure what movie everyone else saw.
But, go into this expecting garbage.
Don't expect much. Embrace the other reviews... but really if you're a fan of the internet series. This is fun.
People act like this is some boring snooze fest...
Honesty as a long-time fan this was everything I hoped for and more.
Sketch comedy usually sucks when it transitions to the big screen.
But, this was entertaining and never lost my attention.
And I have severe severe severe ADHD... so watching movies in general is usually a no-go because I simply can't focus long enough.
For the budget they had this is a grand slam. A gift to the long-time fans! Pure fan service.
The effects are entertaining, and the jokes all worked for me.
Yes, it is tacky, cliche and can be cringe. The effects are sometimes laughable. The actors all overact.
But, did people not watch the internet series?
The over-the-top zaniness was always kinda the whole point.
This is an ode to B-Movies clearly inspired by Troma movies like Toxic Avenger. The sort of "bad movie" that's actually good due to it embracing its low-budget ways.
You need to adjust yourself enough to suspend your disbelief.
For instance, the first scene was so over the top and slightly cringeworthy that I honestly had an urge to turn it off...
I'm glad I gave myself another 10 minutes before I gave up though.
I understand hardcore fans not liking it mind you...
A lot of the cool side characters from the series don't make an appearance... or if they do it's only in cameo form.
But, in my opinion, there's just enough fan service and references to the series.
The film could've played it safe and just basically retread the series. But, this was meant to tread new ground in a true road trip adventure flick. I appreciated that.
For hardcore fans... well I get why some may have been turned off. It's a little "mainstream" / "Hollywood".... it's not as vile and pure gross-out as the series... the swearing is toned down. But, to be honest.. it has just enough of these things for me... as the toilet humour while fun could kinda be too much for me at times when it was too stretched out.
This strikes the right balance.
It's not laugh-out-loud funny. But, every joke got a smirk out of me. I appreciated it.
Honestly, in an ideal world, a better movie could have been made...
But, it's a miracle this actually happened.
The web series is beyond niche and this was done extremely well for the budget they had.
It is a true popcorn theatrical film that proudly stands next to Micheal Bay-style explosion fests (if they were low-budget).
Honestly, it's a damn shame this is so low-rated.
Watch it for yourself!!
Go in with an open mind. And remember how many people hate this.
So don't expect Top Gun: Maverick.
I also highly recommend getting the Blu-ray. The special features and making of content are just great.
Also, this gets a perfect score because of how underdog this production was and how as a big-screen outing it works.
It's probably a 7.5/10 otherwise.
But, as a fan of the series... it gets 10/10.

As an adult, watching a movie that you loved as a kid can be a bit of a different experience. You might find that the things that once fascinated you don't hold the same level of appeal. That being said, "fun and games" can still be a good way to describe a movie like this, and "George of the Jungle" certainly fits that bill.
Brendan Fraser is a big reason why the movie works so well in the beginning. He has an undeniable charisma that makes him fun to watch. Fraser's energy is infectious and he's clearly having a blast playing a character who is essentially a Tarzan parody. His physical comedy and willingness to make a fool of himself is one of the movie's biggest strengths.
However, there are moments in the movie where the fun and games start to feel a bit repetitive. You might find yourself getting a bit restless and need to pause the movie to take a break and come back to it another day. The movie's humor and gags start to lose their impact after a while and you might start to feel like you've seen it all before.
Despite this, "George of the Jungle" is still a good option for a family movie night. It's silly and goofy, and kids will likely find it hilarious. The movie has a lot of slapstick humor and physical comedy that will keep young ones entertained. Plus, there's a strong message about being true to yourself and not trying to be something you're not that parents will appreciate.
In conclusion, while "George of the Jungle" may not hold up as well for adults as it did when we were kids, it's still a fun movie to watch with the whole family. Brendan Fraser's performance is entertaining enough to carry the movie for a while, even if you may need to take a break at some point. Overall, it's a light-hearted and goofy movie that's worth checking out if you're looking for something to watch with your kids.
