Siskel & Ebert - George of the Jungle (1997)

[@richmotroni]

I remember taking my niece who was about eight to the movie in a theater and we just had a great time.

[@Dog-999i]

This movie is so nostalgic for me.

[@jarsenberg]

Same, this was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid. I always watched it when I needed something comforting.

[@CyanideSublime]

"... And I'm happy that you noticed." Roger took that criticism with a grain of salt. These guys are timeless.

[@ejl423]

A smart movie about a doofus, so true!

[@connorstephens7467]

Childhood favorite.

[@abon587]

This is why these guys were good. They could break down the finer points of Oscar winners, but they could also take a silly kids' movie seriously enough to recognize its charm and wit.

[@Techn9cian123]

Love the movie. It’s surprisingly funny and holds up pretty well.

[@RyanLBrown9396]

Ace Ventura meets Crocodile Dundee I freakin love this movie

[@MrTimshellscherber]

Ryan Brown Me 2

[@uyeda]

There was also George of the Jungle 2 that came to video in 2003.

[@1f5sda]

I heard that one was bad.

[@ejl423]

It is bad, but for me at least, there was enough laughs to help it reach the status of guilty pleasure.

[@Lily-kl1of]

I like to pretend that one never existed.

Unfortunately, this is the best feature film adaptation of Jay Ward's IPs.

[@christophersouza3159]

Peabody and Sherman was pretty good

[@MrGabeanator]

@@christophersouza3159 agreed

[@WordUnheard]

All the great movies Siskel has thumbed down...and he LOVED this one? What the fuck?

[@squashmallow2006]

To be fair, the movie is genuinely hilarious and clever with its comedy.

[@MsKitcloudkicker]

These squares think Shep was only funniest part sheesh

they didn't say it was the only funny part

[@Angyali]

THIS IS RIDDICULOUS!! THEY THUMBS UP ON THIS MOVIE, WHILE GIVING THUMBS DOWN ON NOTHING TO LOOSE!! THE OTHER WAY AROUND MORELIKE IT!

[@randombro89]

They like this shit but they hate home alone Yeah OK

[@greekmillennial4540]

Loved Home Alone as a kid, but as an adult it's more nostalgic for me than enjoyable. Loved George of The Jungle as a kid, expected to hate it as an adult, but turned out to be pleasantly surprised.

[@CubanPete1990]

Or how about give it Thumbs Down!!!!!!! 😡

[@advancedhell42069]

No

[@CubanPete1990]

@kstie Wagner productions What do you mean No?!

[@greekmillennial4540]

Saw it again as an adult preparing to cringe and was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Holds up pretty well and there are a lot of movies from my childhood I can’t stand now
