"Don't ever call me crazy, Alan! EVER! Because everyone in this town has called me crazy ever since I told the cops you were sucked into a board game." - Sarah Whittle

Why watch this? You will love this thriller about the most dangerous board game ever.

Plot Summary: Jumanji is a magical board game that unleashes a world of adventure and danger upon its players. When siblings Judy and Peter Shepherd find and begin playing the game, they inadvertently release a man who has been trapped within it for decades. The only way to stop the chaos and send the jungle's perils back into the game is to finish playing Jumanji.

Dad's Preview: This adventure film was a good vehicle for Williams as Alan, a young boy who was imprisoned inside a magical board game for 26 years. There are some genuine scary moments, but it's softened by the almost-cartoonish effects. There is some commendable early CGI. Look for a young Kirsten Dunst.
