As you know, I was in Hawaii a couple weeks ago, attending the #WelcomeToTheJunket event and enjoying all the activities surrounding the movie Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle.
Cast, director and producer interviews, parties and an aerial site of the movie location were just a few of the highlights!
I could name a million reasons why you will love Jumanji, which opens in theaters TODAY!! But I will name my absolute favorite ones, because I know they will make you love the movie as much as I did:
5 reasons why you will love Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle
The Cast
Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, Karen Gillian and Nick Jonas among other great names make this comedy/action movie a must see this holiday season.
The Story
Four teens discover a mysterious video game from the 90s while serving detention and are sucked into a virtual jungle when they try to play it. Transformed into various video game characters, the group must explore the world if they want to survive.
The Comedy
Jack Black and Kevin Hart lead the whole cast into a series of well thought out jokes and priceless moments, but no spoilers! You must watch to find out specifics!
The Action
The fact that the movie is now taking place in the jungle, the opposite of the original, brings challenges and amazing action scenes which places the cast in one of the most unexpected, fast paced action movies this year.
The ending
You will not guess the ending until it’s there! Such a twist of the plot, totally left me wanting to watch the movie all over again!
Yes, if you came to the blog expecting movie spoilers, you won’t get them!
You will get my five stars and a caution that it is PG 13, so make sure to exercise caution, when bringing younger ones to watch it during the holiday season!
Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle opens in theaters today! You can buy tickets HERE!
I am taking my family to watch it tomorrow! I know my son, who’s a teen will love it!
Here is a sneak peek:
Do you have plans to see it? I hope you do! You will looooove it!
