One of my favorites as a kid. I was scared of that spider but looking bad it was super cheesey.
The nicest surprise in all this, as a long-time Trek fan, was seeing Dominic Keating. Throwing in David Ogden Stiers didn't hurt; besides his long-running role on M*A*S*H, he too had a (guest) role in the Trek canon, as well as the Stargate one.
It's too bad that the characterization is so flat. Yes, the movie is really about Mike, but what a shame that the other characters around him are so one-dimensional. The final edit was also at least 15 minutes too long, probably more; it easily could have been tightened to help the story's pacing.
Mitsubishi!
- "Mimi-siku"

Everything about this is very meh.
I can't say there is anything about 'Jungle 2 Jungle' that I liked or enjoyed, I don't think it is anything overtly terrible but it's just so boring. None of the cast are memorable, the plot is lazy and the pacing is well off. It does attempt heart, though it doesn't hit all that sharply.
The performances of Tim Allen (Michael) and Martin Short (Richard) - though not good - at least keep the film away from the depths of awful. I also think Sam Huntington (Mimi) is alright in this. There's also an appearance from Jumba Jookiba himself, David Ogden Stiers.
All in all, It's just a very basic and plain live-action production from Disney. The stereotypical 'jokes' don't help its cause, either.
