Whoever decided Jack Black should play a teenage girl deserves all the money in the world.

[@EntertainmentFan11]

I think a better description would be "displaying a teenage girl's personality in a video game avatar".

[@nightflame69]

Jack black is Literally the best part of this movie!

[@gregordyballa]

"Woman"

[@surpelle]

Jack Black as a teenage girl is one of my all time favourite performances. Favourite isn't the same as best. It just never fails to improve my mood.

[@blacktronlego]

11:53 There are worse things than having Karen Gillan land on you!

[@corystanish]

I swear, it would be easier to discuss anything on the Internet if more of us just kept in mind that "favorite" and "best" aren't necessarily the same thing.

[@Still.the.best.2021]

"still the best 1995"

[@glenncabacungan9269]

The cool thing is the two “Bethanys”, Jack and Madison, actually got to act a scene out together in the Goosebumps sequel.

[@stevensauer8539]

This movie was so much better than it had any right to be, and exactly what it needed to be. So much fun, such a perfect cast!

[@123jillbone]

I met Karen Gillian at a meet & greet this year and told her this was one of my favorite movies. She was like “god! Really?”

[@seattlecryptid]

Forever love her as Amelia Pond in Doctor Who ♥

[@Overlord0011]

@@seattlecryptid What's not to love?

[@jkhoover]

I just kept seeing Nebula.

[@bcn1gh7h4wk]

I guess the definition for that is _adorkable_

[@kateorgera5907]

I mean, compared to Guardians and Doctor Who this one of the smaller fandoms she's been a part of. Plus I remember people really hated on it when the first trailer came out. Yet, it was one of the highest grossing movies of 2017.

[@vudujl83]

was skeptical about this one when it came out, but it ended up being quite fun

[@anthonyporter5454]

Agreed

[@Arrynek01]

I would go as far as to say it was better than the original. Which just. doesn't happen.

[@macgonzo]

Same

[@Arksimon2k]

Yep same. And while it doesn't have the semi seriousness of the first one, the humour really worked for the sequels.

[@3DJapan]

Honestly I like it better than the original.

[@michaeladundon]

They all play their parts so well, especially Jack Black! 😂 And omg yes definitely watch the next one, it's really good.

[@ericlaw171]

Little worried about Addie's unbridled excitement over the "killer of man" character... 😅

[@PROVOCATEURSK]

People desire what they don´t have.

[@bobcharles1204]

Part 3 is definitely worth it!

[@kingbrutusxxvi]

The fact that Karen Gillan filmed this and the second "Guardians of the Galaxy" movie the same year is crazy.

[@marvinsarracino116]

Addie you are ready for the next level! Great reaction Addie! Luv the Jumanji series! The next Jumanji -next level is good you will enjoy it! Jack Black is so funny and awesome! Actually the whole cast is great! Luv ya Addie ❤💛

[@Owlsandoatmeal]

I remember being pleasantly surprised by how heartwarming/emotional this one was at points, too, especially with Nick Jonas's character and Bethany, and her character growth in particular, and then him naming his daughter after her, so sweet! :) All of the actors and characters were great, though! The next one is really cute too, from what I remember, I feel like I like this one slightly better out of the two of them, from what I remember, but the third one's a lot of fun as well and worth checking out in my opinion :)

[@adaddinsane]

"The Next Level" is just as good, maybe even better.

[@lastboyscout73]

Yes, you should definitely watch the 3rd one!

[@firedoc5]

The first one with Robin Williams was really good, but I think this one is much better. The casting couldn't have been better, especially with Jack Black. Yes! Do the next one, you'll definitely get a kick out of it.

[@user-bh2rk4tk3f]

The pissing scene is so funny

[@sharonjoan1970]

Great Reaction Addie❤ Can't wait for you to do The Next Level❤

[@LeetChocolate43]

jack black was just absolutely perfect in this movie.

[@daved2352]

The next one is DEFINITELY worth watching. I took my teenage stepdaughter to the cinema to see these and we both LOVED them.

[@dragnet42]

You should be Ruby Roundhouse for Halloween

[@johnjosephleon7591]

Totally agree!!

[@alextan1478]

Well said. BTW, I'm also picturing Jeremy (Addie's boyfriend) cosplaying as Jefferson "Seaplane" McDonough.

[@ZorroDk]

You should definitely watch the third... Also, I would really like to see "Labyrinth" on your channel. It is an old movie (1986), but it is so sweet :)

[@ITPalGame]

Mary Cherry just did it.

[@lookskywater7035]

When ollie barked and responded to you, it really sounded like he said "YES IIIIIII DO !" lol

[@seansteyer8851]

This is one of my favorite "guilty pleasures" of the past few years. I love it. And I enjoy your reactions so much, that despite some other obligations, I decided to enjoy this with you. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!! Can't wait to see!

[@joshuacampbell7493]

Dwayne Johnson & Kevin Hart are best friends in real life too.

[@OverWims]

Not sure if you noticed but at 29:22 you can see the layout of the original board game.

[@davejay6855]

Addie is Ruby Roundhouse 👌 #confirmed “Heyyy, it’s Ruby” 👋 “Heyyy, it’s Killer of Men” 👋 😃

[@donnilloyd1355]

The Next Level,,, a MUST. Same cast, and a few new ones. Awesome Post Addie.

[@gregorywilcox5949]

danny devito and danny glover are great in the next level

[@kdub3871]

Great reaction! Another family movie connected to the Jumanji universe to check out is a movie called Zathura.

[@corystanish]

This movie gets filed under "I didn't need a sequel to that movie, but hot dang that was unexpectedly awesome!"

[@c1ph3rpunk]

This one was so much better than I expected, it’s just a great little film. The casting was spot on, both sides.

[@spockjones1521]

Addie, fun reaction. I was thinking if you were in a video game, you'd be played by Karen Gillan too!

[@crazyratlady3026]

Jack Black teaching Karen G how to flirt is so fkng wholesome 😂😂🔥🔥

[@ITPalGame]

I've loved Karen since she was Amelia Pond in Doctor Who. Pretty red heads are a treat 😁

[@tonysmith5504]

Your going to love the next one it’s so funny ❤️❤️

[@colindeane9759]

Loved the call backs to the first one with the hut being built by Robin Williams in his time in the Jungle while he waited for a 5 or 8!!!

[@slvrsrfr92]

the side by side of you and Ruby Roundhouse looks like I'm looking at the same person. love your reaction to this it was so fun!

[@nathanjacobus3577]

You might also enjoy the movie Zathura. It's technically the second movie in the franchise but is separate from the main Jumanji story arc. Thanks for another great reaction and looking forward to seeing your next pick!

[@TheHeroClass]

There are moments in this movie where Karen Gillan just sounds like Nebula🤣

[@NeutralTea]

Jumanji: The Next Level is definitely worth watching!

[@RoxxSerm]

People were soooo skeptical about it. Thank god "milking a franchise" can actually be good. Even if rarely.

[@mikedoskitomen1991]

Lovely reaction. Please react to Zathura as well after the next Jumanji. It is still another Jumanji movie but it happens in space

[@LordVolkov]

"Yeah! Killer of Men!" I was also very excited for Ruby Roundhouse, who, in my humble opinion, did not kill enough men 😅

[@Bodyknock]

Addie needs a T-shirt that says "Why'd it have to be snakes?" 😄

[@alextan1478]

Or one that says "MOTHER-OF-PEARL THOSE ARE SNAKES!".

[@cyberleadr]

The Next Level is for sure worth watching. And a heads up, I believe it has a post credit scene.

[@rfresa]

I have some interesting theories about what Jumanji really is. I think it must have been designed by some kind of ancient jungle shaman as a test for young people who "seek to find a way to leave their world behind." Maybe it was originally a jeweled amulet of some kind that would transport its victims into a jungle world where they would have to reach a goal and say "Jumanji". Then it was taken by imperialists and put in a museum, but no one was interested in actually wearing it, so it transformed itself into a board game!

[@incogneato790]

It took a ton of acting skills for Karen Gillian to flirt that badly.

[@122elina]

Your dog is so cute!!!! 😍 And great reaction as always!

[@dsc5754]

Addie's dog is her co-star 🌟🌟

[@dropinbiking92]

Thanks for the awesome selection of movies. A lot of the older movies I saw when I was younger, and don't remember all of, so it's been fun watching along catching up on movies. I agree about the first Jumanji, it scared me as a kid.

[@yunonasumi7982]

You were so excited at the start. All I could think was "Therey're snakes."

[@NathanS__]

"Yes I dooo!" Edit was perfect.

[@tomhoffman4330]

(21:33) When Ruby is trying to flirt with the Guards, I swear She sounds just like Nebula from "Guardians of the Galaxy." Definitely check-out "The Next Level" ASAP!👍

[@DaveH82]

You know what, you could do a Ruby Roundhouse for Halloween really easily.

[@shannonvanpatten8341]

I'm in my 70's, but if I was in my 20's when she did her Fight Dance, I'd have been in love

[@awakeningcry]

Fun Fact: the actor who plays the British NPC now advertises accounting software on British TV ads

[@YouCantTop]

Alex and Bethany always had such a weird energy. In the second movie too. like, directors wtf? lol

[@Aperdedor1]

No one ever talks about how the red head is also nebula in Marvel

[@JagLite]

Loved your reaction

[@deanfranklin6465]

Yes! Definitely check out " Jumanji: The Next Level"

[@cliffdevey]

I love these actors!

[@wendellbunn6195]

You must watch the third one, I was having a bad day til your reaction made me smile.

[@1amazeme]

What makes training Ruby training failure funny is Karen’s background as a runway model years ago.

[@lyger1980]

8:15 The prof. is the same name who was hunting Alan Parrish (Robin Williams) 16:15 the elephant piece is the same as Alan Parrish (Robin Williams) 18:36 Need I say anything.

[@legahsee1able]

Next level is good. Well worth a watch, very funny. Nice twist at the end too

[@bobapjok4241]

A girl like Ruby is amazing

[@ChrisReise]

30:34 Hard to believe I didn't know that adult Alex is played by Tom Hanks' son, Colin Hanks. :)

[@charleshays5407]

We also learned about Black Mambas from Darryl Hannah in Kill Bill Vol II.

[@staciemiller7465]

You'll love the next one!

[@donaldmoxham2659]

Definitely watch the next one, it's awesome!

[@sterlinggecko3269]

I stole the 3 lives thing for the final combat of my 5 year long D&D game. I got to cut loose and shred several characters, and they popped back into existence. good times.

[@tharun6734]

this movie was perfect yes plz watch the next one

[@thatpatrickguy3446]

Great reaction as always Addie! I really enjoyed this movie and I watch it over when I need a laugh. Jack Black as Bethany was just so awesome. He plays a teen girl disturbingly well. I love Karen Gillian and have since she was Amy Pond on Dr. Who. She just does so well with the variety of roles she plays, and her portrayal of Nebula in the MCU was wonderful. Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart were awesome too. All four of them did a great job of being teens stuck in very different adult bodies. And Bobby Cannavale I like in this role and as Paxton in Ant-Man. I loved the Easter Egg referring to Allan Parrish from the first movie. That made me so very happy cos I've always loved Robin Williams and I hate that he's gone. This movie wasn't as good as the first, but that was mainly due to the Robin Williams factor.

[@bobthompson2013]

Addie is the best!❤❤

[@poliveri0722]

Yes. Absolutly worth watching.

[@stanleysmith2221]

Great reaction, you're hilarious

[@OverWims]

A lot of people question why in the original film, Peter and Judy (being the future additions to the game) didn't "remember" Jumanji yet in this one the future editions (being everyone but Alex) did remember. It's simple. Peter and Judy did remember. We just didn't see that point yet. They would only remember when they reach the point in which they started playing just like in this movie. When we last saw Judy and Peter it was before their parents ski trip. So it was way before they originally started playing Jumanji. Then and only then would the original Judy and Peter 'replace' the new ones.

[@bcn1gh7h4wk]

Peter and Judy didn't even exist when Alan started playing.

[@OverWims]

@@bcn1gh7h4wk Neither did the kids from this movie when Alex started playing. They would probably be around 16-18 but definitely not 20 in 2016.

[@bcn1gh7h4wk]

@@OverWims the movie is not necessarily *set* in 2016. it says "1996" at the beginning, and then it just time-jumps to "now, maybe"

[@OverWims]

@@bcn1gh7h4wk it came out in 2017. The kids say Alex has been dead for 20 years. It's easy to assume it's 2016 or 2017. Just face the fact that in this case, you're wrong.

[@bcn1gh7h4wk]

@@OverWims and still, "coming out in 2017" doesn't necessarily correlate with the time *of the plot,* nor saying "dead for 20 years" specifically mean *20* years.... it could be the roundest figure they gather from hearsay.

[@johnmccandles2197]

I loved the original with Robin Williams, so was worried about this film, but they did great, they didn't just remake the film, they took the idea and made a film that stands on its own, with new characters and a new story. It really works.

[@klau5z]

Now it's time for Jumanji: The Next Level

[@Jimmyp936]

Hello Ms addie. Great reaction and please do next level. I think u would love it. Have a great day and night.

[@slaaneshhedonite7068]

The next one is also fun. My daughter adores these. Super fun times and any chance to see Amy Pond I’m in. Even when she shaves her hair and is covered in blue paint I’m in.

[@nicko880]

They are actually working on a 4th one with the same cast too, so this version will be a Trilogy.

[@bard6184]

Jack Black must've had so much fun with this role. Endless bloopers, I'm sure.

[@DrewG-wd8ql]

They are all back for the second one, plus two other stars. The adult Alex is played by Tom Hanks son, Colin Hanks.

[@PopeJohnBeatoIV]

Definitely worth it to watch the next one.

[@qillaqboassen4281]

Halloween costume idea right there

[@_Bosley]

Addie & Ollie Counts! 😁

[@traydevon]

🐶 “Yes I do!”

[@BrandonWestfall]

Alan Parrish was Robin William's character in the first film.

[@sashadeea]

It's worth watching the next one, is great

[@HH-hd7nd]

Yep, the next movie is worth watching as well - it's a lot of fun.

[@phtevenj]

i love the Robin Williams easter egg so much

[@HEWfunkingKNEWit]

Possibly the best sequel ever

[@joaosoares-rr5mj]

i was realy glad when i fund out this movie was a sequel and not a reboot, you dont need to erase the past to make a good future

[@VerryJerry90]

Addie i might have been 4 or 5 when i saw the first Jumanji and youre right it was a little scary haha

[@bcn1gh7h4wk]

"All I remember about that day is you going *AY!"* _laughter_ *"AY!"* _more laughter_ *"AY! WEH'S MA COFFEE!"* _ROFL_ Kevin Hart in a nutshell.

[@jamesdee759]

Jack Black playing a teenage girl is funny but it got funnier when he tried teaching Karen Gillan how to flirt lol. A guy playing a teenage girl and a beautiful lady who does that bad at flirting and tries to learn to flirt from Jack Black. lol

[@Sherman1fan]

Karen GiIllian used her Nebula voice a little. Keep going, next is also fun!

[@Hardrock1a]

Funny that you hear Nebula when Martha is try to seduce the guards!

[@robertrouse4503]

At least you get to see how gorgeous Nebula is in real life.
