Four high schoolers end up in the dangerous game, only this time it’s in a jungle . They must solve a mystery and defeat bad guys (and wild animals) to save the game and their own lives. What makes this movie fun: watching 3 stars play against type: Dwayne Johnson (a nerd in a hunk’s body), Jack Black (the hottest girl in school) and Kevin Hart (from a football hunk to a diminutive wise ass…almost everything he says is funny). The action/adventure stuff is pretty standard with narrow escapes and noisy fights, but the overall energy and good-natured repartee make it sufficiently entertaining.
