I attended an advanced screening of this film. All opinions are my own.

“In the brand new adventure Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, the tables are turned as four teenagers in detention are sucked into the world of Jumanji. When they discover an old video game console with a game they’ve never heard of, they are immediately thrust into the game’s jungle setting, into the bodies of their avatars, played by Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, and Karen Gillan. What they discover is that you don’t just play Jumanji – Jumanji plays you. They’ll have to go on the most dangerous adventure of their lives, or they’ll be stuck in the game forever…”-©Sony Pictures

I love the original Jumanji movie. I have been excited to see a new, updated take on the story. I loved JUMANJI: WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE.

The storyline of this movie was lots of fun. It was very fast paced, full of action, and humor. I laughed out loud so much watching this movie.

The cast was fantastic in this film. They all had great chemistry together and were hilarious. I love how they were able to capture the characteristics of not only their game avatars but also their teenage counterparts.

Content-wise, this movie earns its PG-13 rating. There is some violence and some crude humor (discussion about male anatomy). I definitely think that teenagers and adults will love this movie. I would recommend that parents see it before taking little kids to decide if they think it is appropriate for their child.
