The CGI elephant was cool. But I had to quit this after 30 or 40 minutes. Maybe I wasn't in the mood for this type of comedy. The jokes are geared more towards children or whatever but whatever. It seems well directed at times. Just silly in repetitive way. But I did not give the film an honest chance - I did the math and quit it before the halfway mark. Maybe the second half is a freaking masterpiece but I wouldn't know; and ultimately the director is to blame. Unless this did good back in the days. It must have came out around the time of Disney's Tarzan animated film.

I liked it a lot, I laughed a lot watching it. It is a humorous version of "Tarzan". Brendan Fraser is really nice and the story is unique to spend some time distracted and entertained. Also, Leslie Mann was good as a Jane-like character and Thomas Haden-Church as the villain, too. It has good moments and a touch of absurd comedy that convinced me enough. The kids in the house are sure to have a good time and adults who do not ask for too much and just want to have fun will enjoy it too. It's not that I'm fascinated but I certainly have a special affection since I saw her as a child. It is a movie with the charm of children's films that have not been made for a long time and that are missing from time to time.

The only truly memorable scene in this movie was the stunt at the Golden Gate Bridge-it was actually rather impressive. The rest, however, was trite, dull, and repetitive. George, an inept Tarzan-like man, is found by Ursula in the jungle, and she takes him to the city, and of course there are problems with that.The original "George Of The Jungle" episodes were short cartoons, not necessarily suited for conversion to a feature-length film, as other such efforts such as "Dudley Do-Right" have proved. Though the movie does make a real effort to keep as close to the original cartoon as possible, the sad truth is that the whole thing just didn't work. Fortunately, the fad for such efforts has long died off, so we don't have to worry about seeing Hong Kong Phooey or Tennessee Tuxedo getting such treatment.

Brendan Fraser (from The Mummy franchise) plays George a Tarzan lookalike who's been reared by a gorilla(voiced by John Cleese) as he got lost in the jungle as a baby and lives in the jungle with the gorillas and the apes. Problems arise when he meets Ursula(played by This Is 40 star Leslie Mann) who is been attacked by a lion and she is with her fiancé who is a borish douchbag named Kyle (played by Thomas Haden Church from Spiderman 3)and he later falls for her. Of course George and Ursula spend some time together and romance blossoms between the two. But when George gets shot by one of the hunters who was trying to shoot Ape(Cleese)George ends up having to travel with Ursula to San Francisco to get some medical help.So he tries to fit in by getting clothes and he later meets Ursula's parents(her mom isn't impressed with him as she wants Ursula to marry Kyle)and George has feelings for Ursula. So will they won't they get together or will Ursula marry Kyle instead?The story maybe a rip off of Tarzan but the over the top humor is hilarious as Brendan Fraiser acts like a complete idiot prancing around with a loil cloth and acting all crazy and goofy. As well as that you gotta love the theme song and the romance between Mann and Fraiser was cute reminded me of Tarzan and Jane's relationship.Bottom line I enjoyed this movie A lot. I grew up with it as a kid and maybe a tad bit stupid but hey its a feel good movie.Im giving it an 6 out of 10.
