Congo (1995)
5/10
Who's Kafka?!

One of the best lines of the movie . . .

I actually got a kick out of this movie. Heck yes, the effects and the gorilla suits were horrible even for the 1990s, but "Congo" was kind of fun to watch. I'm sure it was supposed to be more serious than the average viewer took it to be, but it had some good moments. Amy was awful from the word "go," but the interaction between her and Ross on the plane was great.

Ernie Hudson was terrific all the way through the movie, although I think he lost his accent a bit at the end. Like so many, I would have loved to see more of Bruce Campbell and a little less of Dylan Walsh. Congo isn't a great movie, or even a good one, but it wasn't a bad way to spend an afternoon recovering from a 13-hour car trip and a long night waiting for a dog to deliver puppies. Five of ten, just because it made me laugh out loud a couple of times.
