A brilliant reinvention of Chris Van Allsberg’s classic story, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle takes the premise of kids working together to defeat a magical board game and goes digital. Four very different high schoolers find themselves trapped in a video game and in the comically mismatched bodies of some new avatars (played by Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, and Karen Gillan). The results are a breezy body-swapping hoot as they bond Breakfast Club style while facing stampeding rhinos and poisonous snakes on a quest to locate a stolen jewel. And if the involvement of THE ROCK isn’t enough to suck you in, how about that Jack Black has never been better? Or that it’s just so gosh darn fun and charming? Combining sharp comedy, imaginative adventure, thrilling action, and a sweet message into the perfect family movie, it’ll be a night of fun and games at the Open Space.
