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.

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.

One of my favorites as a kid. I was scared of that spider but looking bad it was super cheesey.

**Absolutely ordinary, within the standard of any light family comedy of the late 90's. Maybe that's why it ended up forgotten.**

This is another one of those endearing family films from the 90's that made their way to the small screen, and disappeared completely once they left the TV channels. I More
