Movie review - "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle" (2017) ****

Really good fun. A bright, energetic movie that creaks in spots but has a good message and an incredibly strong central concept - four kids get sucked into a game and turn up as avatars. Everyone is in extremely good form - the kids were fine rather than sensational but they did what they had to do and the adults are sensational. Some of the Jack Black stuff - getting an erection, flirting with Nick Jonas - pushes that PG rating but in a good way. Action scenes are well handled and it looks terrific.
