San Andreas is a most amusing movie. It’s not a comedy, just a generic effects-driven disaster movie in exactly the same style Hollywood has been producing for about 20 years.
In its favour it has the surprising likeability of Mr The Rock, Paul Giamatti hamming it up for a paycheque, and the mammarially blessed Alexandra Daddario running around, lazing in a bikini, getting wet, etc. There’s some solid spectacle, including a couple of nice long takes, which is what these movies are all about.
Conversely, it couldn’t be any cheesier if it had been entirely made out of dairy products.

Enjoyed it in a dumb, ‘remove your brain for a couple of hours and enjoy’ kind of way. I’m late to the Daddario party but could see the point in her – one very much for the Dad(dario)s!

Yep, I think that’s exactly the kind of film it is, and it fits that role perfectly. The Rock and Daddario are both in Baywatch later this year, in which I presume they’ll fulfil similar functions.
