Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">theme<\/a>-park ride may now be a more natural occurence than adapting it from a novel, Emily Blunt plays Dr. Lily Houghton, a London researcher-explorer who\u2019s as fearless, in her demure way, as Indiana Jones, and Dwayne Johnson is Frank Wolff, the friendly huckster of a river-boat captain who ferries her down the Amazon at the height of World War I.<\/p>\n<p>He wears a hat just like the one Humphrey Bogart wore in \u201cThe African Queen,\u201d and she wears pants \u2014 which, of course, were an early adaptation of Katharine Hepburn\u2019s. For anyone old enough, or old-movie-centered enough, to care (which is maybe five percent of this movie\u2019s prospective audience), the banter between these two could be said to evoke Bogart and Hepburn \u2014 or, at least, Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner in \u201cRomancing the Stone.\u201d Frank, a charlatan with a chip on his shoulder, calls Lily \u201cPants\u201d and tells godawful jokes. She call him \u201cSkippy\u201d and rolls her eyes. And as they go at each other with gusto and bite and a touch of venom, you can sit back and feel, at moments, like you\u2019re at a romantic comedy.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s like watching a romantic comedy while strapped to a roller-coaster with a VR headset on. \u201cJungle Cruise\u201d is at once a love story, a made-for-4DX action movie, a \u201cPirates of the Caribbean\u201d-style fairy tale featuring a ghostly conquistador (Edgar Ramirez) and his pewter-armored henchman with digital snakes slithering through them, and God knows what else. Blunt, appealingly brash, makes mincemeat of Frank the lug but lets you know she likes him anyway, and Johnson knows how to deliver a genial putdown that still stings. They\u2019ve got a chemistry, no doubt about it, but in a funny way the romantic pluck of \u201cJungle Cruise\u201d plays like one more trick effect. You can practically touch the one-liners as they ping off the screen.<\/p>\n<p>I enjoyed the movie more than I did the two recent \u201cJumanji\u201d films, because you can kind of pretend that there\u2019s something at stake, and the director, Jaume Collet-Serra, stages it all with a certain breathless bravura. Leaving the dock in the Brazilian jungle where Frank plays P.T. Barnum to gullible tourists, our heroes set off in his barely seaworthy steamboat, only to have to get out of the way of a torpedo launched by Prince Joachim, a Teutonic megalomaniac played by Jesse Plemons with a smirky flourish. The ship plows right into Frank\u2019s docking station, which blows up real good.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a turbulent sequence in which the boat speeds toward a waterfall, and a funny one that fools us into thinking, for a moment, that the movie is going to exploit the woefully outdated stereotype of a \u201cprimitive\u201d tribe of cannibals wearing skull masks. (It\u2019s actually mocking it.) Lily has brought her brother, MacGregor, along for the ride, and he\u2019s a pampered dandy who think it\u2019s not dinner unless you\u2019re wearing a dinner jacket. He\u2019s played by Jack Whitehall, in a pinpoint performance that benefits from not having to repress the implication that the character is gay, though it might have benefited even more if his coming-out speech to Frank didn\u2019t dance around the subject nearly as torturously as the old repression.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJungle Cruise\u201d is a movie that implicitly asks: What\u2019s wrong with a little good old-fashioned escapism? The answer is: Absolutely nothing, and \u201cJungle Cruise\u201d <em>is<\/em> old-fashioned, expect that it pelts the audience with entertainment in such a lively yet bumptious way that at times you may wish you were wearing protective gear. Lily has in her possession a mystical arrowhead, which everyone wants, because it\u2019s the totem that will lead her to the Tears of the Moon, a legendary tree (it\u2019s like the Fountain of Youth) with magical healing properties. That sounds like a Disney MacGuffin, and is, except what struck me after a while is that the real preoccupation of \u201cJungle Cruise\u201d isn\u2019t romance, or even adventure, but metamorphosis. Tree vines grow and wrap themselves around historic explorers; a fearsome tiger is revealed to be a pussycat; a key character turns out to be 400 years old; a theme-park ride turns into a love story and then back again. All that remains unchanged is the price of an oversize box of Raisinets.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-tags \/\/ a-children-icon-bullet lrv-u-font-family-primary u-letter-spacing-012 lrv-u-line-height-large lrv-u-color-brand-primary\">\n<h2 id=\"optional-screen-reader\" class=\"lrv-a-screen-reader-only\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"optional_screen_reader\"><\/span>\n        optional screen reader  <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<nav class=\"o-nav  o-nav lrv-u-border-b-1 u-border-color-brand-secondary-40 lrv-u-border-t-1 lrv-u-text-align-center lrv-u-padding-b-025 u-padding-t-050@desktop u-padding-t-050@tablet u-padding-t-050@mobile-max lrv-u-margin-t-2 lrv-u-margin-b-2\" data-dropdown=\"\">\n<h4 id=\"\" class=\"o-nav__title lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-font-family-secondary o-nav__title a-content-ignore u-line-height-140 u-letter-spacing-0002\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Read_More_About\"><\/span>Read More About:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
