I was surprised to find that while I was right about it's relative safety to watch as one dozed off, that it was surprisingly entertaining. I never watched the original TV show that it is both eulogizing and parodying, but the character that Dwayne Johnson portrays has his usual charm and sparkle, and Zac Efron does a nice job playing off of him as the screw up of the crew. The movie has a healthy sense of spoofing off the TV version, and being able to laugh at itself, mixed in with a likable cast, makes for a pretty enjoyable, if very fluffy light movie. It would be a great family night movie that has an audience of older teens and up. There is a bit too much bad behavior for a younger audience to watch with their parents, but don't write this off based on its admittedly silly aura.
