  • George of the Jungle -- Engagingly silly live-action comedy based on a 1960's animated TV series about a jungle-raised primitive (Brendan Fraser) smitten with a beauty (Leslie Mann) on safari to escape her overbearing fianc‰. Director Sam Weisman's good-natured spoof of Tarzan movies is amusingly self-mocking and drags only when the action moves from the jungle to the big city. Some mild sexual references, toilet humor and occasional slapstick violence. (A-II) (PG) ( 1997 )




    These movies have been evaluated for artistic merit and moral suitability by the media reviewing division of Catholic News Service. The reviews include the CNS rating, the Motion Picture Association of America rating, and a brief synopsis of the movie.

    The classifications are as follows:

    A-I -- general patronage;
    A-II -- adults and adolescents;
    A-III -- adults;
    L -- limited adult audience, films whose problematic content many adults would find troubling. L replaces the previous classification, A-IV.
    O -- morally offensive.

    Note: Some movies previously were designated A-IV. Older films with this classification should be regarded as classified L.
