Review of George of the Jungle (1997) by Mike F — 15 Jan 2010

This is such a funny film. It was the first film I ever saw Brendan Fraser in, but I was only 8 at the time, when it came out. I became a fan of Brendan's a few years later when I was older and re-watched it. I absolutely loved Ape the best!!!

The best lines (in no particular order):

George: "To swing or not to swing?".

Man: "Help!".

George: "Swing.".

Narrator: "Don't worry. Nobody dies in this story. They just get really big boo-boos.".

Narrator: "Whew! Okay, kids, let's settle down and review the important information - Lyle is a big doofus. Poor George was really shot, but can't die because, hey, let's face it, he's the hero.".

George: "Sometime George smash into tree. And sometime...".

[George screams and falls out of treehouse].

George: "Sometime George fall out of treehouse. But not feel stupid.".

Ape: "George, what on earth are you doing?".

[George is wearing flower lei].

George: "George just feel like looking a little special today. That all.".

Narrator: "Twenty five years later, the bouncing baby boy has grown into a swinging jungle king. He is swift, he is strong, he is sure, he is smart...".

[George hits tree and falls down].

Narrator: "...he is unconscious.".

[Max and Thor arrive at the tree house to capture a talking ape].

Thor: "There's five stinking apes out there. Which one are we taking to Vegas?".

Max: "The one who's playing chess!".

George: "Sleep sweet, Ursula.".

Ursula Stanhope: "Sleep sweet, George.".

"George, George, George of the Jungle, WATCH OUT FOR THAT TREE!".
