This film is a predecessor to Jungle to Jungle with Tim Allen and Sam Huntington. Since I didn't have the orinal sleeve with all the details I can only guess that it is in French and dubbed English. The mouth moveing and then words a split second later gave it away. This film starts in the jungle then moves to Paris then back to the jungle. A boy grows up in the jungle with his mom. Dad is a broker and wants to remarry but has to get the divorce signed by his wife.. you got it, in the jungle "half way around the world." The best actor of the whole thing is Ludwig Briand an affable little guy that is better in this film, although somewhat younger, than Sam Huntington in Jungle to Jungle. He's really enjoying himself I think.
While half naked he: climbs the Eiffle Tower, Terrorizes his dads girl friend with his pet Tarantula; pins a pigeon to the wall of his dad's neighbor; and wins the heart of a girl; all while smiling and acting like it is no big deal.
I liked the story line but the adult actors were there for support, or not. Ludwig Briand is superb and does his job well.
Get both films and compare. Little Indian Big City will win hands down, although Jungle To Jungle was better acted and directed Ludwig I think had a better time making the film and it comes accross quite nicely in the finished product.
Adults in the film 1 star, kids 5 stars. |
