Baby George(Brendan Fraser) is displaced from his family during a horrible plane crash and is adopted by a wise ape. Life in the jungle is pretty sweet for George, until, as an adult, our hero meets the lovely Ursula(Leslie Mann). This rollicking, live-action epic swings from comedy to action to adventure to drama to romance with a sharp blend of humor, slapstick, dazzling special effects, social satire and larger-than-life adventures from the jungles of Africa to the jungles of San Fransisco.
