![]() A sequel was inevitable We rejoin the cast some time after the events of the first film, and the geeky teenage lovers - Spencer and Bethany - are trying, unsuccessfully, to carry on their long distance relationship while at separate colleges. During the spring of 2018, this was an almost permanent resident at the multiplexes (until "The Greatest Showman" and "Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again" took over the residence for the rest of the year!). This was also a film that raked in a HUGE return at the box office, getting close to the billion dollar number on its $90 million budget. But this rather belies my secret love of the movie: it is a film that I can invariably watch and enjoy again and again. Reading my review again, I was rather po-faced about it and scored it with a rather measly 7/10. I expected it to be a tired retread of the original classic, but instead it turned into a highly entertaining action comedy. One of the pleasant movie surprises of Christmas 2017 for me was "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle".
