75A movie that is sort of funny some of the time and then occasionally hilarious.
-
75One of the most witty, entertaining family films to come out in some time.
-
75Hits you on the head until you laugh.
-
70The kind of silly summer fun that gives family entertainment a good name.
-
70Not quite inspired lunacy, the film has a game, likable quality.
-
70Surprisingly pleasant.
-
70Brendan Fraser breathes loopy new life into the swinging '60s TV cartoon icon.
-
63Possesses both an edge and a sense of self-mocking that's unusual for any feature, live or animated.
-
60Very amusing fun.
-
60This bit of fluff overflows with so much honest charm it barely matters that it's one in a seemingly endless succession of Tarzan retreads.
-
50The plot is predictable, and the humor is uncreative and often crude. The heroine, however, is endearing in her quirkiness.
-
50So silly, so garishly over-the-top, and so bracingly eager to please, that it's hard not to fall under its gleefully gooney spell.
-
50Sporadically playful, it ends up wearing as thin as any film geared to a preteen sense of humor is bound to do.
-
50An amiable, highly ingratiating piece of lowbrow entertainment.
-
40John Cleese supplies the voice of George's brainy and terrifically tolerant sidekick, a very unconvincing animatronic gorilla named Ape, but even he can't raise the level of humor above the harmlessly goofy.
-
38This one's aimed at those airheads who, like George, have been swinging on a grapevine and slamming into too many trees. [16 July 1997, p. 3D]
-
38They are singing the jingle in the bath, in bed, in the car, ready to send you, like George, smack into a tree.
-
This appalling desecration of Jay Ward's 1960s cartoon series suffers from countless movie-ruining flaws.
