Metacritic reviews

Hits you on the head until you laugh.

A movie that is sort of funny some of the time and then occasionally hilarious.

Not quite inspired lunacy, the film has a game, likable quality.

Very amusing fun.

This bit of fluff overflows with so much honest charm it barely matters that it's one in a seemingly endless succession of Tarzan retreads.

Sporadically playful, it ends up wearing as thin as any film geared to a preteen sense of humor is bound to do.

So silly, so garishly over-the-top, and so bracingly eager to please, that it's hard not to fall under its gleefully gooney spell.

An amiable, highly ingratiating piece of lowbrow entertainment.

John 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.

They are singing the jingle in the bath, in bed, in the car, ready to send you, like George, smack into a tree.
