The film also launched the careers of its supporting cast. Leslie Mann became a comedic staple of Judd Apatow’s universe. Thomas Haden Church perfected the insufferable, preening villain (a role he would revisit in Sideways ). And Holland Taylor, as Ursula’s society-obsessed mother, steals every scene with her perfectly clipped disdain.
Meanwhile, Lyle and the poachers search for Ursula. They eventually find the treehouse. Mistaking George for a hostile savage, Lyle shoots him. However, George survives because the bullet hits his head—and ricochets off his incredibly dense skull. To save George and avoid further conflict with the poachers (and a looming legal threat from Lyle), Ursula decides to take George back to San Francisco to get him proper medical attention and hide him from Lyle. Ape and Shep stay behind, though Ape is soon blackmailed by Max and Thor, who want to capture him for his intelligence. george of the jungle 1997

★★★★☆ (4/5) – A knockout punch of nostalgia and non-stop laughs. Mistaking George for a hostile savage, Lyle shoots him
With the villains defeated (Max and Thor are arrested, and Lyle ends up in a rather humiliating situation involving a gorilla bride in a tree), peace returns to the jungle.
