You have to give credit to the Disney regime circa 1997 for their bravado: they took a critically-lambasted French farce from 1995 called "Little Indian Big City" and remade it with their number one television star in the lead. Although "Jungle 2 Jungle" features the typically high Disney production standards, it's offensive and disastrous. Tim Allen just coasts through playing commodities broker in New York City who tracks down his estranged wife to the Amazon jungle; there, he finds for the first time he has fathered a son. Fish-out-of-water nonsense is well-produced, but loud, irritating and hammy, with screaming actors bellowing at the camera (Martin Short and Bob Dishy are the worst offenders). Kids might enjoy some of the one-liners and sight-gags, but the film has practically nil adult appeal. * from ****
