JCVD's first real comedy. He did a very good job.

6/10 for me. Not a bad film, not memorable but decently funny. I think all the action stars want to confront with comedy at least once in career and I think JC did a good job on it overall, on same level of Sly's two comedy attempts in the 90s.

It was a 6/10 for me. I was expecting something different based on the trailer. Didn't like the change in JCVD's character. I think I will like it better when I re-watch it.

Nice review. I thought the same except some things like having high expectations, I had low expectations but not for cast, production or stuff like that, I know well that make people laugh is way more difficult than make people cry, situations goes ridiculous fast and you can't ask to an action star like JCVD to have the comedy quality of Jim Carrey to save the film, so doing a 6/10 comedy film starring JCVD is already a success.

Nice review, I actually watched this with my wife and she didn't like it at all but on the brighter side I thought jcs character was awsome and really funny but I totally agree with Claudia the trailer was really well put together and had such high expectations for the movie itself but it didn't quite tick all the boxes for me

Review zacksfilmthoughts.blogspot.nl/2017/07/jcvd-thon-welcome-to-jungle-2013.htmlThursday, July 20, 2017 Posted by Bonehead XL JCVD-A-THON: Welcome to the Jungle (2013) Still, the film is absolutely worth seeing for Van Damme's performance. If he was in every scene, “Welcome to the Jungle” would probably be an instant comedy classic. Instead, the action star can only salvage about half of the film. The rest of “Welcome to the Jungle” is a shambling exercise in ungroomed, overly crass comedy. Considering the amount of times I laughed really hard, I guess I still got my money's worth. Mostly, I left the film hoping Van Damme gets another chance to stretch his comedy muscles soon. [6/10]

Comedy? I just got the movie today. I'll watch somewhere in between the soccer world cup games. Right now -- viva Portugal and Brazil

I hope you will enjoy the movie. It's very different from his other movies, keep that in mind.
