Review: New ‘Jumanji’ sticks with the formula and just adds
Associated PressThe creators of the latest “Jumanji” sequel have begun from an age-old premise — if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. So “Jumanji: The Next Level” brings together the same director, writers and actors who made the 2017 reboot so fun and then layers in more stars — Danny Glover, Danny DeVito and Awkwafina — plus more locations and special effects. In the 2017 “Breakfast Club”-like setup, the four high schoolers — a jock, a self-conscious dweeb, a popular girl and a nerdy girl — are sent to detention, where they get sucked into a Nintendo-esque video game. Director and co-writer Jake Kasdan’s addition of two older acting legends — DeVito is 75 and Glover is 73 — to a youth-oriented, big budget action franchise is unexpected and leads to some clever humor.
