For example, jack black is teenage girl in real life who becomes jack blacks character notice jumangi game. Terrible. Rock is a nerd in real life and becomes gigantic muscular dude with super heros and the movie plays on being inside a video game. I love the concept and jack black playing a teenage girl is one of the funniest things youll ever seen in your entire life. Hes hilarious in the film. I wonder if it leads to interesting concept if we can wore of into who we feel like we are characteristically who would we manifest ourselves in. Isnt that fun. Interesting. Something to think about. You could imagine jumping into a video game and having like the rock big muscles and run really fast. Its a cool concept. Bit long at times and script was not as good as the concept. But jack black is so great in it that he just insanely makes the movie so much fun. The rock is fantastic. Kevin hart was a little weaker in this film he usually stands out because hes funny and loud and obnoxious i gave it. 5 out of five. Didnt that i orlov it if youre a fan of the original jumagni its not a remate but a sequel. Theres a continueition owe math to the original Robin Williams<\/a> character. 3. 5 out of 5.

Nothing too crazy nick jonas is good in it too. Moving on now greatest showman mr. Hugh jackman about f barnum the music in this fillsome better than the overall movie. Hugh jackman is amazing. And zach avenue ron, it was too rushed in beginning and i found myself not being able to focus on singleular character.
