What Would Guns N Roses Say? "Welcome To The Jungle"

Welcome To The Jungle (2013)
N/R - Language, Nudity

Starring Adam Brody, Rob Huebel, Kristen Schaal, Jean Claude Van Damme

Directed by Rob Meltzer

The Story:

Chris (Brody) is getting walked over at the advertising agency he works at, especially by his boss, Phil (Huebel).  When the CEO (Dennis Haysbert) organizes an island getaway team-building exercise under the tutelage of Storm (Van Damme).  However, things deteriorate quickly, and it becomes a Lord of the Flies madness when the pilot dies and Storm gets eaten by a tiger!  It's up to Chris to save the castaways, but he is undermined by Phil at every turn.

This isn't your average Gilligan's Island episode!

Those were funnier... : /

Definitely a B movie... maybe closer to a Z movie...

There were a few good lines to be delivered throughout the movie, but otherwise, this was best viewed at 1.5x on the PS3.

: )

Brody does his best to win the picture over on the shoulders of the likeable underdog, but it's an uphill battle from the start.

Van Damme does a nice turn as the motivational leader, having some fun with his image.

They could have tightened up the script a bit, and this would have been a much better experience.

There was a good story buried in there, with flashes of brilliance and what could have been popping through on the screen throughout the movie.

However, there were long stretches of mediocrity in between.

If you've got nothing better to watch, but otherwise, you'll be fine to miss this one.

Final Grade: C-

Rewatchability/Purchase Factor: No thanks, I'm good.
