FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://www.msbreviews.com/movie-reviews/the-lost-city-spoiler-free-review "The Lost City is one of this year's surprises, managing to vary the well-known formulas of the genre in a creative, fun manner. By making the most of the hilarious, chemistry-filled performances from Channing Tatum and Sandra Bullock, the Nee brothers explore the distinct protagonists, Alan and Loretta, beyond what's expected in generic rom-coms, developing their misleading appearances through a genuinely exciting adventure. Unfortunately, only the main character arcs receive this level of care, as everything secondary lacks the same interesting treatment and better entertainment. Still, a thematically rich ending compensates for any cliches. Definitely, a family viewing party recommendation." Rating: B

_The Lost City_ is an action-adventure rom-com combo that has more action than comedy. While there are plenty of laughs to be had throughout the film, a large percentage of them missed the mark completely. There were scenes that had me laughing aloud and others that were a little cringe at times, so the humor levels will for sure vary per viewer. The overall plot was somewhat standard but entertaining enough as comedy plots are concerned. The beginning starts off strong and then slowly fades as the plot becomes more unbelievable. The acting is excellent, as it should be with this type of star power. Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum had spectacular comedic chemistry and bounced off each other nicely. Daniel Radcliffe’s over the top villain antics were fairly decent as well, nothing groundbreaking. Brad Pitt was a standout, and I wish we saw more of him in this film, but his scenes by far were the most memorable. Even though this movie has its ups and downs, it understands what it is, and does not take itself seriously. This translates to the audience not taking it seriously as well, which results in a fairly fun viewing experience. **Verdict:** _Decent_

It was... okay. Had some charm and Sandra Bullock shows she still has star power. Not sure I completely bought her and Channing Tatum but they were fine together. Story isn't the best and Daniel Radcliff made for a lame villain but I guess I was entertained for the duration. Not sure if I'd ever really revisit, however. **3.0/5**
