Jungle Cruise by Jaume Collet-Serra

2022 movie #19. 2021. A totally ridiculous premise with surprising cheesy CGI (especially the pet tiger), but also pretty entertaining. British lady scientist (Blunt) hires riverboat captain (Johnson) to take her up the Amazon in search of a mythological tree with healing powers

Jungle Cruise by Jaume Collet-Serra

Various parties want a MacGuffin hidden in the Amazon jungle.

1/4 (Bad)

Jungle adventure comedies are my jam, and I'm a fan of both Johnson and Blunt. But this movie is garbage. Presumably some Disney producer had a laundry list of things to put in a movie (mostly stuff from Pirates of the Caribbean), and someone just wrote them all down and called it a script.

Crazy, Stupid, Love by Glenn Ficarra

A divorced, middle-aged man learns to pick up women.

Great cast, good writing, and an effective balancing of comedy and drama.
