(She becomes much more reconciled to her fate once she discovers the wonders of peeing standing up.) The Rock, smoldering. The skinny nerd has transformed into a smoldering, ripped explorer ( Dwayne Johnson) the jock has lost a foot and a half off his height and become the zoologist ( Kevin Hart) the bookish girl has become the badass commando ( Karen Gillan) and the queen bee, to her initial horror, is now a bearded, paunchy male cryptographer ( Jack Black). And in Freaky Friday style, all four teens have assumed the physique of the in-game characters they selected. They decide playing an old video game is better than cleaning up their school’s storage space, and select their characters from the menu: a zoologist, a cryptographer, a commando, and an explorer.Īnd then, of course, they suddenly find themselves dropped into a jungle. Then, 20 years later, a group of teenagers - the standard assortment of nerd, jock, shy bookish girl, and queen bee who’s always glued to her phone - get stuck together in detention, Breakfast Club-style, and find the cartridge. The old Jumanji was tied to a board game now it’s a 1980s video game, housed on a cartridge that washes up on a beach in 1996 and lands in the hands of Alex ( Nick Jonas), who sticks it in his console and promptly gets sucked in. The new Jumanji is linked to the old one only in its central concept A workmanlike comedy with some fun surprises hidden along the way, it’s a clever twist on the original that leaves that film intact, and a good-hearted coming-of-age story to boot, with a cast that commits wholeheartedly to its physical comedy. Luckily, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle mostly pulls it off.
