Jungle 2 Jungle

ComedyFamily105 min

Tim Allen is Michael Cromwell, a buttoned-up New York commodities broker whose trip to Brazil to finalize a divorce leaves him with a surprise: a 13-year-old son he never knew he had. Raised in a tribal village, Mimi-Siku arrives in Manhattan with a blowgun, a jungle rulebook, and a mission tied to the Statue of Liberty, throwing Michael’s polished life off balance. Martin Short is Michael’s harried business partner, one more piece of a city world that makes little sense to Mimi-Siku. The comedy comes from the collision between Wall Street routines and a kid who treats New York like unfamiliar wilderness.
