What happens

Jungle 2 Jungle is a 1997 comedy film directed by John Pasquin, produced by TF1 Films Production, and starring Tim Allen, Martin Short, Lolita Davidovich, David Ogden Stiers and JoBeth Williams. A co-production between France and the United States, it is an English-language remake of the 1994 French film Un indien dans la ville (also known as Little Indian, Big City). Its plot follows that of the original film fairly closely, with the biggest difference being the change in location from Paris to New York City. The film was released in the United States by Buena Vista Pictures Distribution under its Walt Disney Pictures label on March 7, 1997, and in France by Ariane Films on August 5, 1998. Like its original French film, it was a moderate box office success but was panned by critics. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
