George of the Jungle 2

George of the Jungle 2 has quietly become one of the more dependable comedies currently available in Australia on Disney Plus, and in the US on Disney Plus. It says what it needs to say in one sitting, no filler. 509 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Christopher Showerman is the obvious draw, but the whole ensemble earns its laughs. Put it on tonight on Disney Plus and see for yourself.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, George of the Jungle 2 is worth clearing space for. Sharp writing and a well-matched ensemble are what separate George of the Jungle 2 from the crowd. George and Ursula now have a son, George Junior, so Ursula's mother arrives to try and take them back to "civilization". Christopher Showerman and Julie Benz lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2003. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and George of the Jungle 2 holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, George of the Jungle 2 is a strong candidate. It stands on its own even without an obvious comparison point. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single evening. Christopher Showerman sets the tone, but the supporting cast is where a lot of the best moments come from. A reliable pick for any night you want quality comedy without the homework.
