![]() It made me forget about life for a few hours, and that’s what a movie can do at its best. I laughed almost the whole time and enjoyed these veteran actors doing their campy best of reviving the old “body swap” tale. I think I should catch it now Jumanji 2 was that much fun. Somehow the old one never pinged on my radar. The ensemble was just too damn cute, and they knew it.ĭo you need to see the original Jumanji to follow along? In a word, no. Everyone played off each other very well. At some points she still channeled Nebula, but her physicality as a warrior served her well in both roles. Kevin Hart was a crack-up as the “backpack guy.” Karen Gillan has nice comedic timing, and it was good to see her actual face without the blue makeup of Nebula from Guardians of the Galaxy. Dwayne Johnson was super playful and pulled off a believably bashful teen. He had the obviously funny part but didn’t oversell it, even when teaching “Martha” how to flirt. Jack Black was fantastic, and I normally don’t enjoy his brand of broad humor. Nothing world-changing, but I’m glad I got to see this.Įveryone in the film was just great - the actors seemed like they had a blast. There’s also a good message for young people about tolerance and acceptance. The audience enjoyed it - they were laughing and clapping throughout. I’ll say it: this could become a lightweight adventure/humor classic. What the film really sells are the sweet character interactions, tons of gorgeous visuals, lots of humor, and the swashbuckling tone. The plot is paper-thin, which is, again, part of the conceit. ![]() Download the RunPee app for free: Read more about the RunPee app.
