Tarzeena: Jiggle in the Jungle

Tarzeena: Jiggle in the Jungle is a 2008 cheeky, quirky, and offbeat adult comedy spoof from director Fred Olen Ray. This retro-style erotic comedy combined with a pinch of fantasy and adventure uses creative homages to old-school jungle and horror movies, fused with a lively, campy narrative.

Tarzeena: Jiggle in the Jungle stars renowned actresses Christine Nguyen, Nicole Sheridan, and actor Voodoo for a fun and sensuous spin on an old classic tale. They successfully bring an abundance of energy and broad humor to entertain the audience and give the comedy a unique flavor with their distinct performances.

The plot centers on the character Tarzeena (Christine Nguyen), the lovely and spirited yet somewhat naive, ruler of the remote island of Kong Island. Raised in the jungles since she was a child after being lost at sea, Tarzeena found solace and refuge on this remote island. Now, as an adult, the island has been her home, along with her curious and exotic island subjects.

Tarzeena's peace is disturbed when a group of explorers and journalists arrives on the island, led by quirky and opportunistic treasure hunter, Jessica, energetically played by Nicole Sheridan. The team is also joined by a hunky adventurer, played by Voodoo. Unlike the rest of the crew, he respects Tarzeena and finds himself quite attracted to her. Jessica's interest lies in her goal of finding the famed mythical sapphire, the 'Tiki of Wiggaloo,' rumored to have incredible powers. They soon discover that the Tiki is under the protection of the beautiful yet fiercely independent Tarzeena, resulting in a raucous and amusing clash of intentions.

The movie presents viewers with a series of amusing predicaments, misunderstandings, and yes, the classic on-screen chemistry between the jungle queen and the striking adventurer amidst the backdrop of the lush and untamed jungle. The adult comedy, laced with erotic elements and overflowing humor, serves many purposes, from lampooning the cliches of the original Tarzan franchise to offering an entertaining satire of classic adventure and pulp tales.

As the characters scramble through the verdant foliage, engage in humorous quarrels, and encounter bizarre island creatures – all the while, the film artfully embraces the tropes of classic camp without taking itself too seriously. Fred Olen Ray's direction delivers a tongue-in-cheek sense of over-the-top comedy that never loses enthusiasm and is balanced with some genuinely funny moments, romantic dashes, and steamy scenes.

While Tarzeena: Jiggle in the Jungle is an adult film, it doesn't miss its mark on the elements of comedy and adventure. It carefully treads the line of being a full-blown erotic feature and a comedic spoof, aiming to entertain and tickle rather than simply titillate. Undoubtedly, it's the kind of film that, with its unusual and unapologetic humor, quickly gathers a specific cult following.

The performance of Christine Nguyen in the titular role of Tarzeena carries the movie wonderfully and adds significant value to the film. Her naive, fearless, and often comedic portrayal of the jungle queen is a highlight. Nicole Sheridan's portrayal of Jessica, on the other hand, is cleverly over-the-top, adding a satirical element to the story. Adding to the allure are the special effects, which, although modest, play along with the ‘homage to the campy old movies’ narrative.

Furthermore, the colorful cinematography, coupled with the groovy and vibrant soundtrack, adds a suitable flavor to the overall narrative. It not only visually presents the jungle's expanse and beauty but also boosts the comedic and romantic escapades that play out within it.

In conclusion, Tarzeena: Jiggle in the Jungle is a playful, sexy, and entertaining adult comedy that doesn't shy away from its camp and laughs. It's not for everyone, but for those who can appreciate its audacity and humor, it could prove to be an unexpected delight. So, if you're seeking the oddball combination of sensuality and amusement, then this jungle-comedy might be an unexpectedly enjoyable treat.
