A review by Filipe Manuel Neto

**It's not funny at all.**
“George of the Jungle” was an interesting and entertaining film that showed the funnier side of Brendan Fraser and gave us a good Tarzan parody. This film, however, totally fails because, at its core, it is a poorly conceived and uninteresting copy of “George”.
For this purpose, the production sought a forgotten classic cartoon of a character who is part of the famous Canadian Mounted Police. I doubt that this prestigious corporation took too kindly to the unwanted publicity, but these considerations aside, and that slight sense of arrogant US superiority over its northern neighbor, the film is simply not funny.
The best that this film has to give us is the quality of the actors, starting with Brendan Fraser. The actor commits himself, does what he can, but doesn't have decent material to work with. Sara Jessica Parker also does an enjoyable job playing the idiotic hero's dorky girlfriend, and Alfred Molina is just as good. The problem is that the actors, regardless of the effort and individual commitment, received miserable material from the screenwriter, who instead of giving a competent script, delivered a miserable and amateur sketch.
If we exclude the good quality of the actors and their enormous effort to work, the film is a total disgrace. The dialogue is miserable, and the jokes rely on pure cheap slapstick or high school scatological humor. The technical aspects aren't brilliant either, and the film looks very cheap.
