Brendan Fraser is “George of the Jungle” in this 1997 movie. Fraser brings the cartoon character to life and to rescue the endangered Ursula from her nutty boyfriend with the help of his animal friends. One of the better attempts at brining a cartoon character to life and not just because of Fraser in a loincloth. Not much, but fun to watch.
In Twilight of the Golds, Brendan Fraser plays a gay man whose sister (Jennifer Beals) is pregnant. Her researcher husband (Jon Tenney) has developed a method of testing whether or not the baby will grow up to be gay. Of course the dilemma comes: does she keep it or not.
Sean O’Bryan is Fraser’s lover whose athletic ways seem to finally win over Fraser’s father (Garry Marshall) when he helps him beat his tennis rivals. Faye Dunaway rounds out the cast as his mother.
The biggest disappointment is that Brendan didn’t get his shirt off, but otherwise not too bad a movie.
Brendan Fraser with Ian McKellen in Gods and Monsters about James Whale, the gay director of Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein who becomes obsessed with the attractive young gardner working on his lawn.
