Jack Black is priceless playing a narcissistic teenage girl. That alone is enough to make this movie worth watching, but when you add in Kevin Hart exploding when he eats cake and the Rock playing a skinny nerd who suddenly has gigantic muscles, you do not want to miss this one. Seriously great action and fantastic surprises in the storyline make this one a must watch. Love it, seen it more than once!

This is the 2017 movie that is mostly a reboot and quasi-sequel to the 1995 movie, Jumanji, which starred Robin Williams. This version starts out with four high school students named Spencer (played by Alex Wolff) who is a gaming and science nerd, Fridge (played by Ser'Darius Blain) who is a football star, Bethany (played by Madison Iseman), a self-absorbed hot chick, and Martha (played by Morgan Turner), an introverted loner, are assigned detention and forced to clean the school basement. They find an old video game that sucks them into the game when it boots up, with the twist being that they inhabit the bodies of the game characters, and find out they each have three lives with which to finish the game. Spencer becomes the leader Smolder Bravestone, (played by The Rock), Fridge becomes Smolder's sidekick, Mouse (played by Kevin Hart), Martha becomes Ruby Roundhouse (played by Karen Gillian), and Bethany becomes the cartographer played by Jack Black.The movie is about the video game characters playing people who are totally opposite themselves, so the Rock is a sickly nerd who suddenly becomes a 6'5" musclebound tank, Karen Gillian plays an introvert who basically becomes Laura Croft (inappropriate jungle attire included), Kevin Hart plays a football player turned into a 5'3" loudmouth, and Jack Black has to play a hot high school girl turned overweight middle-aged man. The movie is a good blend of action and comedy, and the cast all play off each other very well. There are some very funny moments, including Karen Gillian commenting on the short shorts she is wearing and Kevin Hart's character's inability to eat cake. There are some tie-ins with the original movie, including paying homage to Robin William's character from the original movie. The movie has to walk a fine line between honoring the original with doing its own thing, which it does well.For those who get the 4k set, the UHD disc just has the movie and then all of the extras are included on the regular blu-ray disc. The A/V quality of the UHD disc is very good, but it is not what I would call far beyond the a/v quality of the regular blu-ray disc. Both are pretty comparable. The extras include a gag reel, a music video by Nick Jonas (who has a role in the movie), and a handful of making-of and behind-the-scenes featurettes that vary in length from about four minutes to just under fifteen minutes. All totaled there are about 40 minutes, give or take, worth of extras if you like going through them.Overall, the movie is very good. As I said above, it has a good blend of action and comedy, and all of the actors fit their roles very well. The Rock, Kevin Hart, Karen Gillian, and Jack Black all play their parts perfectly, and each of their characters get their moments to shine during the movie. It is definitely a more "adult" movie than the 1995 movie was and does include swearing and sex jokes. So, be aware that it is not as family-friendly as the original movie. That said, it is definitely worth watching.

Wouldn't say it's a fantastic reimaging but with a stacked cast of funny characters it's a delightful watch

A treat to watch - even though it's an old movie. No gross violence or f-words! Laughed out loud a few times, which always deserves a great review!

One of my all-time favorite movies! So funny! Jack Black is hilarious and I love Dwayne Johnson. Really funny movie but it also has a good message.

Love it!

Great movie!

I have no problem with the DVD

This movie is a must see if you enjoy slapstick comedy. I had to rewind so much of it the first time because my wife and I couldn't stop laughing.

enjoyed the movie

Un très bon film

È un film leggero per famiglie ma molto ben fatto, divertente con cui passare due ore spensierate.La qualità video è davvero notevole con colori e contrasto davvero molto belli da vedere sia su un TV ma meglio su un proiettore se lo avete. Buona recitazione di tutti gli attori.Consigliato se gradite il genere del film e volete vedere immagini molto impattanti.
