George of the Jungle
6 September 2005
Warning: Spoilers
When I was young this used to be quite a funny Walt Disney Pictures live action comedy about a young boy dropped in the jungle and becomes like a Tarzan type character. Brendan Fraser plays George, the King of the Jungle and Leslie Mann as Ursula Stanhope is the woman who "finds" and takes him to the city to try and become like a normal man. After a while George becomes quite used to the city, and falls in love with Ursula, her parents obviously don't approve. Meanwhile, the bad guys including Lyle Van De Groot as Thomas Haden Church, Max, Van De Groot's Sidekick Thug (Greg Cruttwell) and Thor, Van De Groot's Sidekick Thug (Abraham Benrubi) plan to kidnap an ape. John Cleese also voices An Ape Named 'Ape' who is quite amusing in places trying to explain to George about things. For a live action comedy, this used to be quite fun. Worth watching!
