Fast-forward to the present, and four high schoolers are sent to detention on the same day: self-absorbed "hot popular girl" Bethany ( Madison Iseman), bookish Martha (Morgan Turner), nerdy Spencer ( Alex Wolff), and his childhood friend turned football star Fridge (Ser'Darius Blain). When he bemoans aloud that nobody plays with board games anymore, it magically transforms into a video game, which he gets sucked into. The movie opens in 1996, when a teenager's father gives him the Jumanji board game. JUMANJI: WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE is an updated adaptation of Chris Van Allsburg's picture book, this time turning the life-changing board game into a video game. To stay in the loop on more movies like this, you can sign up for weekly Family Movie Night emails. Still, there are positive themes here related to teamwork, empathy, selflessness, and communication, making this an easy pick for families who enjoy action adventures - especially if they saw the original movie or read the Chris Van Allsburg book on which both films are based. That said, The Rock's character's body is also objectified. There are also references to how girls/women can "distract men" with their attention and body, which doesn't send a great message to girls. Characters kiss and flirt awkwardly, and there are several references to dating, experience, and the humor of having a penis (one of the female teens is in a male avatar for most of the movie). Expect some swearing (mostly "s-t" and "ass"), as well as action violence - the main characters each die multiple times within the game (but they're regenerated quickly) - and a couple of jump scares. The popular stars, including Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, and Karen Gillan, are likely to appeal to audiences of all ages.
This time, instead of entering a board game, the players enter a video game. Parents need to know that Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is a new take on 1995's Jumanji.
