Character mistake: When Alex Vreek's father wakes him up to show him the board game, he knocks on the door and yells Tim or Jim, not Alex.
Suggested correction: He says "Hey, kiddo."
Moose Finbar: You do not want to know what's under those rhinos! I saw things I can never unsee, things that touched me.
Trivia: While Dwayne Johnson is at the bazaar he grabs a bad guy and makes the "Rock Bottom" move from his WWE days.
Question: What does Fridge do now if he's still kicked off the football team by the end of the movie? It seems that only Spencer, Bethany, and Martha had some character growth, but not Fridge.
Answer: Fridge absolutely had character growth. He learned to value others as actual friends instead of using people to make his life easier. He learned to have respect for less popular students. He learned that physical strength can't solve all your problems. He learned the true value of teamwork. He never would have learned any of these lessons had he not played Jumanji.
What about Spencer? What kind of character growth did he have?
Primarily he gains confidence and self-esteem. He learns to be more decisive but also seems to have much more courage than before.
The claim that he wouldn't have learned these lessons if he'd not played Jumanji is unfounded speculation. There's no way of knowing what his life journey would have been otherwise.
Answer: Spencer learned to be more confident in himself.
