Dr. Lily Houghton enlists the aid of wisecracking skipper Frank Wolff to take her down the Amazon in his ramshackle boat. Together, they search for an ancient tree that holds the power to heal — a discovery that will change the future of medicine.

With Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt as the two main stars, this family-friendly adventure film has all the makings of a family movie night. It has the typical wit and humor you can expect from a Dwayne Johnson film. Like another Disney franchise that started as a ride, Pirates of the Caribbean, Jungle Cruise can wind up with multiple sequels

If you’re expecting something other than the typical family-friendly movie out of either Johnson or Blunt than you’ve got high hopes. But thats not a bad thing as the two have on-screen chemistry. In an action/adventure film you don’t always need the strongest performances, it just needs to be fun.

Is Jungle Book full of cheesy dad jokes that might make you roll your eyes? Maybe a little too much at time, but its one of the things that makes movie nights for the whole family fun. Luckily Jungle Cruise has a strong enough storyline that picks up in the second half of the movie.

If you’re looking to compare it to its predecessor Pirates of the Caribbean, initially its not as good. That movie was something amazing at the time. With that being said, if you let this movie stand on its own it’s not bad at all.

Jungle Cruise is Disney’s version of Jumanji and makes a long standing attraction relevant again. With so much going on in the park, it’s great they kept interest in it alive. With a sequel on the way, it’ll will surely keep the attraction in the back of people’s minds of years to come.

Jungle Cruise won’t be your all-time favorite Disney movie but at least it’s worth the watch. The only challenge is how they’ll make it a sequel. 7 out of 10.
