Dr. Lily Houghton enlists the aid of wisecracking skipper Frank Wolff to take her down the Amazon in his dilapidated boat. Together, they search for an ancient tree that holds the power to heal – a discovery that will change the future of medicine.
What critics thought
Critics landed squarely in the middle on this Disney ride adaptation, finding it passable family entertainment but nothing more — the leads' chemistry is a genuine asset, but the overstuffed plot and heavy debt to better adventure films kept most reviewers from fully committing. Notably, audiences responded far more warmly than critics, suggesting the film plays better in a theater with kids than it reads on paper.
“while those parents who grew up with Indy and Romancing the Stone might have seen a lot of this stuff before, it's right in the wheelhouse for movie-loving youngsters not quite ready to watch Nazis' faces melt in Raiders. For those kiddos, Johnson's big lug and Blunt's eager explorer offer an enjoyable welcome to the Jungle.”
Brian Truitt·USA Today
“Blunt's tart apple crisp of a comic performance pairs nicely with Johnson's beefcake served with a side of ham.”
David Fear·Rolling Stone
“made up of spare parts from better movies and at over two-hours in length”
