Deep in the African jungle, a baby named George, the sole survivor of a plane crash, is raised by gorillas. George grows up to be a buff and lovable klutz who has a rain forest full of animal friends: Tookie, his big-beaked toucan messenger; Ape, a witty talking gorilla; and Shep, a peanut-loving pooch of an elephant. But when poachers mess with George's pals, the King Of Swing swings into action.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The acting in this movie is really good.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

I liked it a lot, I laughed a lot watching it. It is a humorous version of "Tarzan". Brendan Fraser is really nice and the story is unique to spend some time distracted and entertained. Also, Leslie Mann was good as a Jane-like character and Thomas Haden-Church as the villain, too. It has good moments and a touch of absurd comedy that convinced me enough. The kids in the house are sure to have a good time and adults who do not ask for too much and just want to have fun will enjoy it too. It's not that I'm fascinated but I certainly have a special affection since I saw her as a child. It is a movie with the charm of children's films that have not been made for a long time and that are missing from time to time.

After seeing the previews I thought I'd be disappointed; it just seemed wrong. Quality work that draws you in and doesn't let you go. There are some films that you can watch over and over again and get the same enjoyment. Rarer are the films that you enjoy more each time you see them. This is not one of these. Certainly the characterizations are shallow and quickly changeable, often for little or no reason. It's worth seeing for some inventive uses of writing and the actors. This one is much better than other reviewers would have you believe. What I liked best is that the movie never take itself seriously. This film is worthy of all the hopes you have.

The only truly memorable scene in this movie was the stunt at the Golden Gate Bridge-it was actually rather impressive. The rest, however, was trite, dull, and repetitive. George, an inept Tarzan-like man, is found by Ursula in the jungle, and she takes him to the city, and of course there are problems with that.The original "George Of The Jungle" episodes were short cartoons, not necessarily suited for conversion to a feature-length film, as other such efforts such as "Dudley Do-Right" have proved. Though the movie does make a real effort to keep as close to the original cartoon as possible, the sad truth is that the whole thing just didn't work. Fortunately, the fad for such efforts has long died off, so we don't have to worry about seeing Hong Kong Phooey or Tennessee Tuxedo getting such treatment.

This promised to be an entertaining family flick. The ingredients seem just right, talking animals, lady falls in love with a jungle man, fiancé gets jealous etc. Brendan Fraser pulls of the role reasonably well. John Cleese is well cast as the voice of an ape. However the rest is pulled off terribly. Barring the special effects (which are actually very good), there is little more in this film that might move it up the 'must watch holiday family flick' list. A lot more could and should have been made of this and what little slapstick there is could have been even funnier. the action however is reasonably well choreographed. The problem is that most of it is quite 'reasonable' and not a single element is outstanding.
