Jungle 2 Jungle is a 1997 comedy film directed by John Pasquin and starring Tim Allen, Martin Short, and Sam Huntington. The film is a remake of the 1994 French film Un indien dans la ville (An Indian in the City).
Michael Cromwell (Tim Allen) is a successful commodities trader in New York City who is in the middle of a divorce from his estranged wife Patricia (JoBeth Williams). When he travels to Venezuela to finalize their divorce, he discovers that Patricia has been living with the native tribe of Maroons in the Brazilian rainforest and has adopted a son named Mimi-Siku (Sam Huntington).
Michael and Mimi-Siku travel back to New York City, but cultural differences lead to several hilarious misadventures. Mimi-Siku, who is used to living off the land, finds the city overwhelming and strange. He uses his blowgun to impress Michael's boss and coworkers, causing chaos in the office. Mimi-Siku also learns about American culture, trying on clothes at a department store and becoming fascinated with rollerblading.
As Michael tries to bond with his newfound son, he must also navigate his complicated relationship with Patricia, who is still in love with him. Meanwhile, Michael's slimy coworker Richard (Martin Short) tries to steal his job and his family, leading to a climactic showdown in Central Park.
Overall, Jungle 2 Jungle is a heartwarming and hilarious family film that explores themes of culture clash and the meaning of family.
