Why is "The Rock" doing these stupid cheesy comedies, he should be doing great action movies like he did in "The Rundown(Welcome to the jungle)" & "Walking tall"

Julie Andrews on the screen again!!! that's wonderful!!! let's hope it's a good enough movie!

Why not...he has the chops for family-comedy. And he's doing the remake of "Escape to Witch Mountain," which isn't quite so "kiddy" in tone. And of course the remake of "Get Smart" makes his presence known. Those who don't want to see him in those roles stay home, and those who don't mind can enjoy his company at the movies. When he's ready to do some action, he'll be waiting in the wings...when the right script comes along that he would enjoy.

I agree, Dwayne Johnson needs to go back to The Rock. I REALLY know this guy's career when he debuted as Rocky Maivia in the then-WWF(now WWE). He has really come a long way since then. The Scorpion King showed his prowess for action. The Rundown, we saw him really progress into a little comedy. Walking Tall was a very good action film, but all the actors(including The Rock) in that some seemed very one-dimensional and stale. Never seen Be Cool. Doom like Walking Tall, was good, but again like Walking Tall had very wooden performances from everyone.

The Rock for me rebounded with The Game Plan. Hopefully Get Smart turns out to be a good movie, as I am starting to like Steve Carell's work, as well as Anne Hathaway.

I am not sure about Escape to Witch Mountain as I HATED the original. The Tooth Fairy in which they are stating The Rock will be wearing wings, a tiara and a tutu brings back memories of Hulk Hogan wearing a dress in the disturbing Mr. Nanny. Tooth Fairy though has Ashley Judd and Julie Andrews, two of the most prolific actors for their generation.

Let the guy do what he wants...he is good at family comedy and he does well as an action hero. I would like to know the status of projects such as Spy Hunter and the Hawaiian king movie he was originally supppose to do. Oh, by the way...Julie Andrews-Prolific-Yes...Ashley Judd-Prolific-NO...HOT-YES.
