Rare are the French comic movies that succeed in attracting attention to the USA. When it's the case, the concerned movie can be successful in Uncle Sam's country and sometimes, American film-makers feel like making a remake. It happened with the French movie: "un indien dans la ville". In general, these remakes are as poor as sequels to a movie. But I found this remake a bit better than the original movie: actors are better directed, the screenplay is more worked and the movie is funnier. It doesn't stop it from taking back some (similar) elements to the French movie (here, the Liberty statue took the place of the Eiffel tower and the trapdoor spider is always there to spread panic and fear). It also borrows sequences from several other American movies and as a consequence, "jungle 2 jungle" gives an impression of "déjà-vu". In the end, the movie brings nearly nothing to an already well-worn topic.
