Jungle Cruise

— No surprises from this bit of escapism based on a Disney theme park ride! Emily Blunt may be under-utilized, but she does the role of a hard-headed British feminist/explorer justice and Dwayne Johnson is appropriately endearing as the captain of the boat making its way down the Amazon. Between the two of them, this thing works well enough so it’s fun to watch. [Disney+ streaming.]
