We've seen it all before, and as with Scream , that's precisely the point.
Adults can revel in seeing an old chestnut warmed over with terrific comic energy.
It moves fast, which is just as well, and though there are slow spots, it cheerfully swings towards a predictable conclusion like George himself. Fraser is a bit OTT at times, but captures the innocent heroism of his character well. He is ably supported by a cast of comic actors in small roles, plus a host of real and digital animals who perform splendidly. Still, for those willing to sit for some wacky, noisy, knockabout parody, George of the Jungle lives up to its promise. You're not meant to take this film seriously and one shouldn't.
