Jumanji 1995

Director:      Joe Johnston

Producers:   William Teitler, Scott Kroopf

Starring:     Robin Williams (Older Alan); Adam Hann-Byrd (Younger                         Alan); Bonnie Hunt (Older Sarah); Laura Bell Bundy (Younger                  Sarah); Kirsten Dunst (Judy); Bradley Pierce (Peter)     

 

A film adaptation of a 1981 book with the same name, Jumanji (1995) is a spine chilling experience in the wild!

The movie starts in 1869, where two boys named Caleb and Benjamin are burying a box. A century later in 1969, Alan Parrish heads to his factory to escape bullies. Then Alan misplaces a shoe and a worker takes the blame for him, ending up losing his job.

Alan then found the century-old box in a construction yard. The box turned out a box for Jumanji. Alan calls his friend Sarah to play with him and she agrees. At Alan’s turn he gets sucked into Jumanji.

26 years later, in 1995, a boy and a girl named Peter and Judy, find Jumanji and start playing it. When Peter gets a chance to roll doubles, he rolls 8 & 5 And Alan comes right out of the game. When Peter and Judy realised that they need to continue playing the game, Alan tells them that he will also continue with them. He realizes that it is a round he started back in 1969, and then they have to convince Sarah to play with them. If you want to know more, watch the movie to find out further.

I like the way conditions and animals in the game are shown in real life and their entry in the real world is very exciting. It captures the spirit of the movie. I like the way Jonathan Hyde has a double role as Van Pelt and Alan’s father, Samuel Parrish.  The part where Peter starts turning into a monkey is extremely unexpected. It is funny as well as serious. The part where Van Pelt gets pelted by Peter’s plan is definitely up to the mark. Everything is awesome, but the only flaws are:

  •        It has too many obstacles.
  •        It has TOO much drama.

Otherwise, the movie is AM-A-ZING!

I wholeheartedly recommend this film because:

1.    It has an amazing plot.

2.       It has a genre everyone likes: Fun, Craziness

3.       It has amazing acting.

4.       It can be watched by all ages.

5.       It  has the biggest and most junglee adventure!

Oh my god, this movie is really a ride. Omkar Lele, or Ole, is a widower and single father who’s main aim is to live life at its fullest. Contrastingly, his son Aditya Lele, or Aale, is an extreme workaholic, constantly having calls, conferences, meetings, presentations, and having very little, if any time for himself and his family. How much ever Ole tries to get Aale to do anything, he never manages to do anything with him. One time, after Aale fails to appear for a dinner at home, Ole, in sadness, apparently flees the house. Confused, Aale and their house helper, Baburao, rush to the police station and ask everybody about Ole’s whereabouts. Turns out, Ole was always at home, simply hiding. It was all a ploy to get Aale to stay at home and cancel his meeting in Delhi. Du...
