...and eventually I left and puttered in the kitchen just to get away from it.
We checked this movie out as a movie we could watch together as a family and eventually I got tired of watching. A plodding plot should have been overcome by the cast but they didn't come anywhere close to succeeding.

There's always a great risk in taking an animated cartoon hero and bringing him to life in a non-animated movie. Look at ROCKY AND BULLWINKLE and SCOOBY DOO for instance. Talented director Hugh Wilson (BLAST FROM THE PAST) tries to infuse that maniacally silly aspect of Dudley Do-Right cartoons, but it has only moments of fun, and more misses than hits. Brendan Fraser, usually at home in this type of broad farce, amazingly falls flat on his face in this one (and no pun intended). Likewise, Sarah Jessica Parker is given too little to do and what she does isn't broad enough (like her role in MARS ATTACKS). Alfred Molina's villainous turn as Snidely Whiplash is the strongest point of the movie, but even he has some low moments.
I did laugh a few times, and enjoyed myself, but it's not as good as I had expected.

This is a very silly movie with a good plot. I recommend this as a family movie!

With this movie, you have to think about what you're bringing to it. Let me explain: though I enjoyed the Rocky & Bulwinkle show from time to time, I had never before seen a Dudley Doright cartoon, so I didn't have any of that baggage. I saw George of the Jungle but was offended by it in certain parts. I came to this movie really expecting a better George of the Jungle (as promised in the trailer gag (no, I'm not kidding.) "From the STAR of George of the Jungle and the PRODUCER of George of the Jungle and the NARRATOR of George, etc." and lastly, I came to the movie with a clean mind (this isn't gonna be PC, but if you see everything in sexual or homosexual overtones, you're gonna see everything in this movie under those tones. If you're not, you won't.).
That said, I got a blast out of this movie. This is not an intelligent movie, this is a fun movie. I love it's randomness: From miniature golf to indians with New York accents, you're never sure where the laughs are going to strike next. I nearly died during the "training" scene.
All the actors turn in good performances, but kudos go to Eric Idle for taking a slightly stereotypical character and making him not so and also I must give praise to Alfred Molina for producing one of the funniest comical scene chewing villains I have ever seen.
Intelligent this aint. Fun it is. Safe for the whole family.
