Critic Reviews

Staff (Not Credited)

An action-packed love story with something for everyone. Read full review

Steven Rea

Simplistic and corny, this adaptation by director (and co-writer) Stephen Sommers nonetheless delivers the goods: exciting animal stunts, breathtaking subtropical scenery (India and a jungle-ized Tennessee and South Carolina) and a likable if not exactly three-dimensional cast of characters. [23 Dec 1994, p.03]

Lisa Schwarzbaum

The animals are dignified cuties and the humans are boisterous archetypes, and if you want the heart to have more darkness, you’re barking up the wrong vine. Read full review

Rita Kempley

The narrative shifts from romance to adventure the way Cheetah used to hop from foot to foot, but Sommers nevertheless delivers a bully family picture. Read full review

Hollis Chacona

The Jungle Book is far more thrilling than frightening and is easily capable of entertaining three generations of filmgoers simultaneously. Read full review

John Hartl

Sommers is so busy spinning his camera, crowding the soundtrack with animal noises and piling on the cheesy visual effects that he can't stop for a reflective moment or a character-revealing touch. Read full review

Gene Siskel
