 | Robin Williams has some funny movies but my top two favorite are Mrs. Doubtfire and Jumanji. Jumanji is funnier and better. Bonnie Hunt really played her part well and was funny. A young Kirsten Dunst I think did a better performance in this one then in the firtst Spiderman movie. Bradley Pierce did good for an actor that I had never heard of before. Joe Johnston made some great special effects. The cop was funny and I think it was cool how Robin Williams hand cuffed him because he was os shocked to see Robin alive. The weird guy from a long time ago with the gun made this film really entertaining. Great family fun so buy it. Also may I add this had titanical sourround sound. God bless you and have the greatest day in your entire life and God bless America.

| Jumanji isn't bad as far as board game movie adaptations go. Not quite as transcendent as Clue but much better than the overwrought Scrabble: The Movie. Director Joe Johnston (The Rocketeer) does a nice job intertwining the non-stop action of, say, Hungry Hungry Hippos or Candyland, with the riveting suspense of Uno, humor of Pictionary, and the tales of love and betrayel of Sorry. Now, if only they'd adapt Guess Who, my world would be complete. |

| Wow, can you imagine waking up on Christmas morning and finding JUMANJI under your tree? Talk about a game that would literally bring down the house! JUMANJI was critically bashed upon its release, but viewing it now, one has to wonder why. It has some pretty inventive special effects, and its premise is neat in that you never know what you get with the roll of the dice. Giant mosquitos? Spiders? Mad monkeys? A stampede of African animals? A crazed hunter? Floods, etc., etc. While the movie sometimes drifts off on unnecessary tangents, it's still a whirlwind of fantastical adventures. Robin Williams, the king of playing grown men who act like children, is remarkably restrained as Alan Parrish, a young boy who was sucked into the game back in 1969 and is released in 1995 by a young Kirsten Dunst and Bradley Pierce. In order to stop all the horrendous things happening, they must finish the game Alan started in 1969, which includes his now adult girlfriend, lovingly played by Bonnie Hunt. Of course, the demented hunter (Jonathan Hyde in a dual role as the hunter and Alan's rather loutish father) doesn't want the game finished. Smaller children may find themselves frightened by some of the catastrophies that plague our heroes, but for older children and even us adult children, JUMANJI delivers. |

| Robin Williams does a great job playing Alan Parish. He is one of the best adult "kid" actors there is. He plays a similar role in the film Jack.
The action is stunning, and the visual effects are awesome! The two kid actors did an awesome job playing Judy and Peter, and Bonnie Hunt does a great job portraying the ditsy palm reader-"Alan's girlfriend."
A very good film. A must see in this world of steriotypical trash. |

| I have this movie on video...and it's not even worth watching it anymore since it's played over and over on every cabel network. The only time this movie made an impact on me was when I saw it at the cinema. |
