Why watch this? It's innocent, fun and outrageous - just go with it.

Plot Summary: This comedy tells the story of a man raised by apes in the heart of the African wilderness. When a wealthy American heiress named Ursula visits the jungle, she encounters George and is captivated by his unique lifestyle and charm (his muscular body helps, too). This encounter leads George to navigate the complexities of both his jungle home and the modern human world as he falls in love and tries to protect his loved ones from the schemes of Ursula's jealous fiancé.

Dad's Preview: A very loveable Disney film with subtle adult humor and some really funny jokes and CGI gags. The film's objective is play up physical humor for laughs, and it works. When my kids were young, we watched Disney movies over and over and it could be tiring. This film never got old for me. I fell in love with the darling Leslie Mann as Ursula. Also, Holland Taylor is excellent as Ursula's meddling mother, Beatrice. However, it's Fraser, as fit and funny as a human can be, who makes it all work. Thanks to this film, I utter the phrase "King of Jungle only here to help" on an almost daily basis.
