Fresh and Exciting

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

This movie is a great example of missed opportunity in nearly every scene, a flat attempt at parody that only hit just often enough to keep reminding you of what a better movie it could have been with a good script, better acting, and competent direction. Everything it tried to do has been done so much better already.The opening scenes invoke a zany little Office Space or The IT Crowd workplace with unique characters, and then within ten minutes throws all of that away to pigeonhole them into a cliché script ripped straight out of nerdy 80's high school wish fulfillment fantasies, before they even leave for the jungle. Van Damme never even gets any good lines and barely features in the movie (though a couple of scenes near the end were silly), the two main men could barely act their way out of a wet bag, and the women are just set pieces to fall for the men. Completely uninspired camera work means that the lush, verdant locale was all but thrown away, to boot. That just made the scenes that were hilarious stand out that that much starker, and those few lines are all that earn it one extra star.It obviously set out to parody the milquetoast-to-hero genre, except it forgot the plot and turned into just another bad example of the genre, instead. In no way does it stack up to actual send-ups, like Blades of Glory, Napoleon Dynamite, or Office Space, let alone full on parodies like The FP and Talladega Nights. Go see one of them instead.

First off, I LOVE spoof movies. I've got a great since of humor and this movie was not funny at all.. I have seen some really bad movies too, but this one has made it to my number one in WORST movie EVER watched. I did not read any reviews before seeing this and wish I had done so. There are a few who said they actually liked this movie. I will remember those who gave the movie a good review, just so I stay away from their reviews. Just because I disagree with them does not make their opinion bad or wrong, it just lets me know my taste and their taste in movies are not the same. Can not believe Megan Boone (The Blacklist) was in this movie. Or Adam Brody, he is a good actor as well. As for JCVD, this was not his kind of movie either, even if he was trying something different, this was not a good start being in this crappy not really funny movie. I did not expect much from this movie either, and it could not even produce that.This movie was just outright HORRIBLE..... Those who gave this a good review, I know never to read their reviews or trust their reviews....(again, we all have different taste and opinions) It is a piece of crapolla movie. It cost $3,500,000.00 to make... What?! I feel bad for all the investors who vested in this movie...I would've been so embarrassed if I was cast in this movie. Hopefully this would be the only bad movie I've ever been in, it happens. After this movie, all movies would be looking GREAT from here though... *smiles* Oh, in this movie it spoofs about some other movies, which made me smirk, so I found a smidgen of laughter for a second.

Let's put van Damme in the Jungle, pair him with Adam Brody and some other comedians and see what happens. That seems to be the motto of the movie. But while that might not sound that appealing, I thought it worked. Not always, see also some of the awkward lines van Damme has to deliver, but often enough.The movie is more than predictable, you can outright guess when what is coming and who will be getting what (or whom). But that is not the point. And while there is a journey, it's the isolation of the Jungle and the characters (used to work in offices), that make this movie funny. Is there potential for more? Sure! But that doesn't mean this is a bad movie. It's just a inferior one to what some might have expected ... still funny though

Very bad modern parody of a great book: "Lord of the flies". Don't even worth to be seen for free... Lets say that Van Damme character is Simon (not a nice Simon as in the book but...); Adam Brody is Ralph and Rob Huebel is Jack. Also, Kristen Schaal is Piggy and Aaron Takahash Roger. Kristopher Van Varenberg could be the twins... who knows... Out of the Island, Phil (Huebel) is Chris (Brody)'s boss. He's an abusive boss, seconded by his right hand, Troy (Takahash). As the manager of the company feels his employees are not team players, he send them to an island to bond. The plane lands, the pilot dies and a very boring parody of "Lord of the flies" begins... It's not funny, it's not entertaining, it's just a waste of time.
