Ah, 'Jest Quest' – a title that promises an odyssey of chuckles and does not disappoint. It's like 'Ocean's Eleven' met 'The Lion King' and decided to go on a vaudeville tour. The film pirouettes through pre-colonial Africa with the grace of a hippo in a tutu – and that's a compliment. Vincent Casserole (a name so deliciously absurd, you can't help but smile) and Angel-Fish Lansbury are the Laurel and Hardy of the savannah, their chemistry a delightful concoction of slapstick and wit. Sofia Coppolar Bear, whose name alone deserves an Oscar, directs with a light paw, ensuring the comedic beats hit with the precision of a lioness pouncing on a zebra-striped punchline. And let's not forget Zoe Saladsana, whose assassin-turned-protector is as refreshing as a waterhole in the Serengeti. While the film's treasure hunt plot may not dig deep into the mines of originality, the laughs are as plentiful as grains of sand in the Sahara. 'Jest Quest' is a comedic gem that sparkles with the intensity of a thousand fireflies at a disco in the jungle. It's a PG-13 jungle jamboree that earns a hoot, a holler, and a hearty 7.5 out of 10 on the hyena laughter scale.
