Siskel and Ebert: Jungle 2 Jungle, The Daytrippers, Kama Sutra, Good Luck

[@sammykewlguy]

Gene passed away less than two years after this episode aired. In retrospect, it’s kind of touching and a little sad to see this. But even when he was critiquing films he disliked, he enjoyed his work

[@natural]

Daytrippers is a great film and criterion just released it. They got this wrong.

[@RicardoAGuitar]

I watched it again this evening for the first time in a long time...it remains superb. They definitely whiffed on this one.

[@troysuza2065]

I watched it and totally agree with them. Garbage.

[@tntbsyht]

My eyes rolled when Siskel called it a romantic comedy. It’s a family-dramedy if anything.

[@p.stephens9305]

Love Daytrippers!

[@luminousbanjo]

"Oh, the pictures I've seen!" Lol

[@BaronMunchausen]

Nobody has pointed out the Disney commercial at about the 13min mark - "Disney's 34th Animated Masterpiece" ( ! ) - advertising The Hunchback of Notre Dame release on VHS. "One of the best films OF THE YEAR, now on video!" At least it has 2 thumbs up from R&E

[@davidnetterwald1846]

When the best movie on the show is the video pick of the week. Then Siskel and Ebert God rest their souls had a bad week.

[@wgaule]

Surprised they didn't like The Daytrippers.

[@CR055FIRE]

the daytrippers would have been 10x better if the parents weren't in it

[@ilovebrandnewcarpets]

This is a hilarious episode. The guys are plain fed up with all these lazy movies 😂

[@crystalshaw8744]

These are straight old school...love it!!

[@gage6209]

I think I’d probably like the daytrippers

[@YogZab]

It's wonderful

[@kmac3215]

It’s a terrific film

[@calebcold3]

The boy in Jungle 2 Jungle looks just like Millie Bobby Brown

[@reneedennis2011]

R.I.P. Gregory Hines.

[@personne7542]

They were a little hard on the Daytrippers. It's a lovely slice of mid 90s indie at this point.

[@ATMyles]

I saw The Daytrippers when it first came to home video - that would have been VHS, I think - and expected that I’d like it given the cast, particularly Parker Posey (I love her) and Campbell Scott, wanted to like it, but surprisingly, found myself bored by it.

[@uyeda]

Not a lot of thumbs up in this episode.

[@hamupinhere]

Did your dad like any of these movies?

[@uyeda]

@@hamupinhere Never saw any of these films. I've seen Jungle 2 Jungle it was really funny.

[@sonnyblack0870]

Not enough thumbs up or views for any of these siskel & ebert reviews unfortunately. These videos aren’t appreciated enough.

[@crystalshaw8744]

I have never heard of most of these movies.

[@spencerhensley5495]

Jungle 2 Jungle is nowhere near as bad as they say it is but having seen the original French version Little Indian Big City which was pretty lame I can only say it’s American remake was slightly better. Tim Allen had a couple very funny moments but otherwise with a few very small exceptions it was basically a carbon copy of Little Indian and should have incorporated some fresher jokes.

[@reneedennis2011]

I like Kama Sutra and Good Luck.

[@rodmaiorano2115]

They were wrong about The Daytrippers.

[@samweisberg3673]

They and the other day trippers haters on this thread are waaaaay off, it’s not “cute” at all, and they usually like dysfunctional family movies, and the plot is original

[@Dim4323]

5 thumbs down that never happend.

[@rckblzr]

There was one episode where they had 5 movies to review and all received a thumbs down, making for 10 downturn thumbs in total.

[@civilizedsatyr]

I feel so vindicated that I wasn't the only one who hated The Daytrippers

[@blastbeatindustries3191]

The Daytrippers is unwatchable.

[@oldfashionedguy1368]

Must have been a bad week for Gene, he gave zero stars to Jungle 2 Jungle let alone calling it the worst film of the year, his yin and yang remark is quite humorous though, the previous show before this was when they reviewed Private Parts.

[@CaptainSpalding72]

Shit film

[@philipprapp9356]

Jungle to Jungle is a boring unfunny mess. The original "un indien à paris" which they consider one of the worst movies of all time is in fact an amzing heartfelt comedy - don't watch the english doub though.

[@agathaellajadwiszczok9840]

Wow. I am surprised. I watched it recently and liked it!

[@CaptainSpalding72]

GOOD LUCK ... hate those front-loaded drama plots. ugh.

[@reneedennis2011]

R.I.P. Alan Bates.
