Although direct-to-video Disney sequels usually try to hide or simply ignore the issue, George of the Jungle 2 gleefully points out the lack of continuity between it and the original movie. Here, the good-natured narrator is happy to explain why Brendan Fraser has been replaced and why the special effects look cheaper: it's all a part of an effort to expand beyond the one-joke idea of a block-headed Tarzan who keeps swinging into trees. It's a pleasant surprise that all these self-referential nods and asides to the camera do indeed make hilarious viewing.
Replacement Chris Showerman willingly takes on all manner of humiliation at the hands of CG jungle animals and his new extended family. George junior is the main by-product of the five-year gap, and thankfully has inherited brains from his mother's side (Julie Benz). In a dastardly plot to win back his love, Lyle (Thomas Haden Church, one of the few to reprise his role from the original) has the gang trooping back and forth to Las Vegas. With sight gags aplenty, bumbling George has more than just trees to avoid. --Paul Tonks

I loved the original and couldn't wait for the sequel!
It's funny and good entertainment for the family!
The trouble is most of the original cast are replaced and Brendan Fraser is sadly missed though Julie Benz makes it up with her great acting!Great Family entertainment!Recommended!

You know, for a silly movie designed for kids, I had a blast! I'm a big fan of Brendan Frazer, but I have to admit, I liked the new guy, Chris Showerman, better as George. There was something different, more of a lovable, boy scout, clutz, nice guy. In fact, as much fun as the cartoon was, I enjoyed the movie better.
As for KIDS - they will have rolls of fun and laughter!

The acting in this film is generally alright the whole way through and play the characters well (mostly). However the story line is lack luster and pretty poor. Admittedly this is aimed at kids but even so it lacks interest. Another point I would like to raise is why would they kill off two of the best looking women in the film?It is utterly stupid I wouldn't recommend this film unless you have nothing better to do than watch it.

Nice watch
Really enjoyable film to watch with the family. Funny and cheesy as expected, not AS good as the first one but is not a let down either.
