The Lost City


        Fans of "Romancing The Stone" will enjoy this lighthearted action-comedy adventure. Starring Sandra Bullock (always good in dramas but especially good when she does self-deprecating comedy) and Channing Tatum (having fun with his image), the film is "Romancing lite". The two stars have great chemistry in this jungle romp.

       Ms. Bullock is romance novelist, Loretta Sage who has lost her desire to write after her last book. Mr. Tatum is her cover model, "Dash". When an eccentric billionaire criminal, played by Daniel Radcliffe kidnaps Loretta believing she can lead him to a real lost city's treasure, "Dash" (real name Alan) sets out to rescue her, proving he is more than just a pretty face.

        The film co-stars De'Vine Joy Randolph as Loretta's manager, who has her own set of comedic adventures attempting to find Loretta on her own. It's all silly fun with some solid laughs topped off by a terrific cameo by Brad Pitt, also having fun with his image.
