Longtime television director
David Grossman makes his feature debut with this direct-to-video sequel to the 1997 hit
family comedy George of the Jungle. Filling the loincloth originally worn by
Brendan Fraser,
Chris Showerman plays
George this time around. Since the events of the first film,
George and
Ursula (
Julie Benz stepping in for
Leslie Mann) have had a son and made a home for themselves in
George's jungle kingdom. But
George is suddenly called away by his brother
Ape who has run up a substantial gambling debt in Las Vegas. Once back in America to help
Ape,
Ursula encounters
Lyle Van de Groot (
Thomas Haden Church, reprising his role from the first film) who is in cahoots with
Ursula's disapproving mother. When
Van de Groot puts her under a hypnotic spell,
Ursula no longer recognizes
George, just as her mother wants. If that weren't bad enough, while
George is busy trying to help
Ape and rescue
Ursula, a lion is attempting to stage a coup back in the jungle.
