MUST-SEE OF THE MONTH
Jumanji: The
Next Level
TBC
Danny DeVito and Danny Glover join
the fun as we head back to the jungle...
DIRECTOR JAKE KASDAN
STARRING KAREN GILLAN, DWAYNE JOHNSON, KEVIN HART
If you caught 2017’s Jumanji: Welcome
to the Jungle, you’ll know that getting
sucked into this enchanted video game
can be bad for your health. But when Spencer
(Alex Wolff ) gives in to temptation, rewires his
console and vanishes into an alternate reality, it’s
down to the teenage gang to regroup and mount
a rescue mission. Like the last time around,
jumping into the world of Jumanji transforms
the teens into video-game avatars, complete with
ass-kicking abilities and hilariously random
weaknesses. But for The Next Level, the twist is
that Spencer’s granddad Eddie (Danny DeVito)
and his cranky friend Milo (Danny Glover) have
also come along for the ride, with the duo amazed
to suddenly find themselves in the youthful
bodies of Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart.
Expect big laughs from the body-swap
comedy and the zinging chemistry of an all-star
cast completed by Jack Black and Karen Gillan.
And if it’s action you’ve come for, The Next Level
lives up to its title, with the gang’s three lives
threatened by hungry hippos, giant anacondas
and rampaging ostriches – not to mention a rope-
bridge battle against a baboon army that simply
has to be seen on the big screen. Game on.
