Good cast chemistry (2 more)
Generally funny throughout
Pretty good Sfx
We've got fun and games
A good, funny action film where the cast chemistry makes the film enjoyable. In the first film the jungle elements start to break through to the real world. This time a group of kids in detention get sucked in to a video game version of Jumanj. It's not the only Breakfast club undertone to the film either.
The Sfx and action scenes are pretty good. It is very funny though with group dynamics, body swap, role reversal going on. Largely thanks to Jack Black and Kevin Hart. Overall a fun light hearted action comedy with a big budget production that's very entertaining.
  
Charlotte is catering a fundraiser at the old winery on the outskirts of town. During the scavenger hunt, she finds the body of one of the guests in the basement. With the police looking at someone Charlotte cares about, she must spring into detective mode to find the real killer.

I'm not sure why I waited so long to read this second book in the series. The characters were a tad overwhelming at first by their number, but I quickly had them all figured out. The plot slow down a tad in the middle, but the end result was great. I'll definitely be back for the next slice.
