About the Film
Based on the French film “Little Indian, Big City,” the comedy finds Michael Cromwell (TIM ALLEN) as a self-absorbed New York commodities trader who travels deep into the Amazon jungle to find and divorce his doctor wife (JOBETH WILLIAMS), so he can marry his ditsy fiancee (LOLITA DAVIDOVICH). Cromwell is shocked when his wife, who left him 13 years earlier, informs him he has a 13-year-old son (SAM HUNTINGTON).
His offspring, named Mimi-Siku, carries a pet tarantula in a wicker basket and is a whiz at the bow and arrow and blow dart. Through a misunderstanding, Allen finds himself bringing his loincloth-clad son back to the urban jungle of New York City.
Jungle 2 Jungle was released March 7, 1997 and carries a PG rating and is now available on DVD and VHS.
