Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is a 2017 American fantasy adventure comedy film directed by Jake Kasdan from a screenplay by the writing teams of Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers, and Scott Rosenberg and Jeff Pinkner, based on a story conceived by McKenna. The film is the third installment in the Jumanji film series and a sequel to Jumanji (1995). It stars Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, Karen Gillan, Nick Jonas, Rhys Darby and Bobby Cannavale. The story focuses on a group of teenagers who come across Jumanji, now transformed into a video game twenty-two years after the events of the 1995 film. They find themselves trapped inside the game as a set of adult avatars, seeking to complete a treacherous quest alongside another player who has been trapped since 1996.

Principal photography began in Honolulu in September 2016 and ended in Atlanta in December, with the film containing notable references to the first film as a tribute to its lead actor Robin Williams.[7] Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, premiered at the Grand Rex in Paris on December 5, 2017, and was released in the United States on December 20 by Sony Pictures Releasing. The film received mostly positive reviews from critics, with praise for its humor and performances.[8] It grossed $962.5 million worldwide, becoming the fifth-highest-grossing film of 2017. A sequel, Jumanji: The Next Level, was released on December 13, 2019.

Plot

[edit]

In 1996, Brantford, New Hampshire, teenager Alex Vreeke receives Jumanji, which was previously disposed of by Alan Parrish and Sarah Whittle in 1969,[a] from his father, who found it on the coast. However, he sets it aside, being only interested in video games. Later that night, Alex finds it transformed into a video game cartridge. Opting to play, he is sucked inside the game, disappearing from the real world as time continues to pass, thus leaving the Vreeke family's house in a disheveled state.

Twenty years later, four Brantford High School students – awkward Spencer Gilpin, athletic Anthony "Fridge" Johnson, ditzy Bethany Walker, and cynical Martha Kaply are given detention; Fridge and Spencer for having been caught cheating in their assignments, Bethany for making a video call during a quiz, and Martha for disrespecting the gym teacher. Upon finding Alex’s discarded video game system and starting it up, the group is sucked into Jumanji, landing in a jungle as their chosen avatars – Spencer as muscular archaeologist Dr. Xander "Smolder" Bravestone, Fridge as diminutive zoologist Franklin "Mouse" Finbar, Bethany as male, overweight cartographer and paleontologist Professor Sheldon "Shelly" Oberon, and Martha as sultry martial arts expert Ruby Roundhouse. Three marks on their arms denote their lives in the game, making them afraid that if they lose all three, they will actually die.

The group's goal is to end a curse on Jumanji, brought about by corrupt archaeologist Professor Van Pelt[b] after he stole a magical jewel called the "Jaguar's Eye" and gained control of the jungle's animals. They must return the jewel to the shrine and call out "Jumanji" to lift the curse and leave the game.

Coping with their avatars, their "weaknesses", Van Pelt's men, and their own group dynamics as they begin their journey, they encounter Alex playing the fifth avatar – pilot Jefferson "Seaplane" McDonough – who takes them to a treehouse that Alan built during his tenure in Jumanji. Alex thinks he has only been stuck in the game for a couple of months; everyone, including him, is shocked to realize he has been there for two decades. The group coordinate with each other's strengths and work together to overcome the game's obstacles. They manage to return the jewel to the statue, break the curse and return to the real world.

Back in the present, the group finds the Vreeke home restored and lively from its previous state after Alex's disappearance. They meet Alex, now an adult, who explains that he returned to 1996, allowing him to live his life. He remained in Brantford and now leads a married life with two children: a daughter called Bethany, named in honor of Bethany Walker, as she had saved him by sacrificing one of her own lives in the game, and a son named Andy.

The four students form an unlikely friendship after their experiences in the game, having bonded and become better people, including Spencer and Martha beginning a relationship. Soon, after hearing drumbeat sounds coming from the game, they destroy the game to prevent it from endangering anyone else.

Cast

[edit]
  • Dwayne Johnson as Spencer Gilpin: An intelligent, but unconfident and neurotic high school student. In Jumanji, he is transformed into Dr. Xander "Smolder" Bravestone, a strong, confident archaeologist and explorer who has no weaknesses.
  • Kevin Hart as Anthony "Fridge" Johnson: A high school football player whose friendship with Spencer has deteriorated due to their different social statuses. In Jumanji, he is transformed into Franklin "Mouse" Finbar, a diminutive zoologist and weapons carrier who has a weakness in strength, speed, and cake.
  • Jack Black as Bethany Walker: A popular and vain high school student. In Jumanji, she is transformed into Professor Sheldon "Shelly" Oberon, an overweight, male expert in many scientific fields who has a weakness to endurance.
  • Karen Gillan as Martha Kaply: A quiet and shy high school student with a cynical intellect, and who is Spencer's primary love interest and vice-versa. In Jumanji, she is transformed into Ruby Roundhouse, a scantily-clad commando with a weakness to venom.
  • Rhys Darby as Nigel Billingsley: An NPC in Jumanji who serves as the primary guide for its players
  • Bobby Cannavale as Russell Van Pelt:[c] An NPC presented as a corrupt archaeologist and former partner of Bravestone's. He is a reimagined version of the Van Pelt character from the original film.
  • Nick Jonas as Alex Vreeke: A teenager who has been trapped in Jumanji since 1996. In the game, he is transformed into Jefferson "Seaplane" McDonough, an aircraft pilot with a weakness to mosquitoes.[9]
    • Mason Guccione as teenage Alex and Colin Hanks as adult Alex in the real world. Hanks was uncredited for his role.

Additionally, Marin Hinkle, Tracey Bonner, and Natasha Charles Packer play the mothers of Spencer, Fridge, and Bethany respectively. Appearing as staff members of Brantford High School are Marc Evan Jackson as Principal Bentley, Carlease Burke as history teacher Miss Mathers, Missi Pyle as gym teacher Coach Webb, and Maribeth Monroe as Bethany's English teacher. Kat Altman portrays Bethany's friend Lucinda and Michael Shacket portrays Spencer's friend Fussfeld.

Production

[edit]

Development

[edit]

Plans for a Jumanji sequel were put ahead by Sony Pictures Entertainment in the late 1990s. As reported by Ain't It Cool News, a stand-alone sequel entitled Jumanji 2 was in development in 1999. The plot of the story involved John Cooper, the President of the United States, buying Jumanji from an old antique store in Europe and bringing it to the White House to play it with his children (one of whom, Butch, just wants a dad not a President for a father). Cooper then gets sucked into the world of Jumanji, paving the way for his evil Vice President, who was supposed to be played by Steve Buscemi, to rise to power as Cooper's replacement.[10] Inside the game, Cooper would have teamed up with hybrid animals, which were going to be animated with CGI; Sony Pictures Consumer Products executive VP of worldwide consumer products Peter Dang revealed prototype drawings of animals that may have appeared in the film, all designed by Ken Ralston, who served as visual effects supervisor in the original film and was planned to make his directorial debut with Jumanji 2, slated for a Christmas 2000 release date.[11] The first film's co-writer, Jonathan Hensleigh, had written the initial draft. Ralston eventually stepped down and the project stalled, albeit the DVD commentary of the first film still references a sequel directed by Ralston.[12] Several other directors and writers came and went on the project, including Steve Oedekerk, Adam Rifkin, David S. Ward, Don Rhymer, and the original author Chris Van Allsburg.[13] Then in 2002, a new iteration of the sequel was reported by Variety. Director Dennis Dugan pitched his own version of the sequel that was said to have utilized the full potential of the board game and would've brought back Robin Williams, who Dugan believed would have more comedic opportunity. Peter Ackerman was being looked at to write.[14] When they were unable to retrieve Williams for the sequel, Sony passed on the project and moved on to develop Zathura.[15]

In July 2012, rumors circulated that a remake of Jumanji was in development. Columbia Pictures president Doug Belgrad said: "We're going to try and reimagine Jumanji and update it for the present".[16] It was confirmed on August 1 that Matthew Tolmach would produce the new version with William Teitler (who produced the original film).[17] In August 2015, Sony Pictures Entertainment announced that the film was scheduled for release on December 25, 2016.[18] Online reception to the news was negative, with some saying that the announcement came too soon after the death of Robin Williams in August 2014 (who played Alan Parrish in the original film).[19][20] The announcement was criticized by Bradley Pierce (who played Peter Shepherd in Jumanji) and by E! News, which called the remake "unnecessary and kind of insulting".[21][22] Scott Rosenberg was hired in October 2015 to rewrite the script for the film, whose production was a high priority for the studio.[23] Jake Kasdan was hired to direct the film the following year in January from a script by Rosenberg and Jeff Pinkner based on a draft by original writers Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers.[24]

The film's complete title, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, was confirmed in Cinemacon 2017 held in March. Its plot involved teenagers cleaning out a school's basement who find a vintage video-game version of Jumanji and are sucked into the first film's jungle setting. Although fans debated whether the film was a sequel or a reboot, the second trailer (released that September) indicated that the sequel is set 21 years after the first. Dwayne Johnson noted that the film was inspired by classic video games of the 1990s.[25][26] The film had used the working title "Jumanji" and the final title and the use of the song "Welcome to the Jungle" was suggested by Jack Black.[27]

Casting

[edit]

Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart were in early talks in April 2016 to star in the film (although both actors had other projects at the time).[28] Johnson confirmed his casting on Instagram later that month.[29] In July, Nick Jonas joined the film's cast with Johnson, Hart, and Jack Black.[30] Black and Hart were paid $5 and $10 million for their involvement, respectively.[31] The following month, Johnson said that the film would not be a reboot but a continuation of the 1995 film;[32] Karen Gillan was announced as part of the cast.[33] On September 20, Ser'Darius Blain was cast as Anthony "Fridge" Johnson and Madison Iseman as Bethany Walker. Two days later, Rhys Darby was cast as Nigel Billingsley, Morgan Turner as Martha Kaply, and Alex Wolff as Spencer Gilpin.[34][35][36] In November, Bobby Cannavale announced his casting in the film,[37] and in December, Tim Matheson joined the cast as Old Man Vreeke.[38]

Critical response

[edit]

On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 76% based on 238 reviews, and an average rating of 6.1/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle uses a charming cast and a humorous twist to offer an undemanding yet solidly entertaining update on its source material."[65] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 58 out of 100, based on 44 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[66] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A−" on an A+ to F scale, while those at PostTrak gave it an 84% positive score.[4]

Dave White of TheWrap praised the cast and called the film a pleasant surprise: "Jumanji: Welcome to The Jungle is the Christmas tentpole release that aims to please and succeeds, a funny family entertainment product that subverts more expectations than it was obligated to contractually".[67] Peter Travers of Rolling Stone writes "enough star power and comic zest to deliver a fun time at the movies ... barely" and praises the cast, particularly Jack Black as hilarious and for finding the "vulnerable heart" of the character. Travers gives the film 2.5 stars out of 4.[68] Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian newspaper gives the film 3 out of 5 stars. Bradshaw praises Johnson for his "endearing performance" and calls it an "amiable effort" expects that will go down well on home viewings.[69]

David Ehrlich of IndieWire gave the film a C grade, calling it unnecessary but mildly amusing: "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is further proof that even the stalest whiff of brand recognition has become preferable to originality. Only part of the blame for that belongs to the studios but after cannibalizing themselves for much of the last 20 years, Hollywood has clearly eaten their way down to the crumbs".[70] For Variety, Owen Gleiberman wrote: "Excitement! Suspense! Childlike innocence! Ingeniously staged action set pieces! These are a few of the things you will not find, anywhere, in Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle ... It's supposed to be a board game come to life but really, it's just a bored game."[71]
