WHITE PONGO is another of those movies with an interesting-sounding premise and a very dull execution. It's a jungle safari film in which a bunch of the dullest characters imaginable head into the jungle in search of a mythical white gorilla. The trouble is, this plotting plays out very slowly indeed, with a maximum of padding that makes it a tough watch. None of the characters stand out and the only people making an effort are the sound effects guys with their constant jungle ambience noises. As for White Pongo himself, he's just the usual guy in a gorilla suit you've seen a million times; he just happens to be a different colour.
