The movie’s just kind of one running joke, except it somehow works the entire time (well at least the inside Jumanji bits).
When they’re teenagers, the movie really drags, it feels very tedious (despite being a minor part of the movie). However Johnson, Hart, and Gillan are hilarious in their roles. They own the parts and it really does seem like it’s their respective teenager in their body.
The video gane stuff is clever but not fully utilized. There was a lot of potential to do even more than they did.
It’s overall an effective, yet empty, comedy.
