Romance novelist who lives like a recluse and hates book launch events \u2013 check. A jungle adventure involving a map and a lost treasure \u2013 check. Romantic sparks between the two leads \u2013 check. So while <em>The Lost City<\/em> may be a little predictable \u2013 it has a charm all of it\u2019s own.<\/p>\n<p>Sandra Bullock, at 57, can still lead romantic comedies with the same fun and self-deprecation that she did 20 years ago as Loretta Sage. Bullock and Channing Tatum have amazing chemistry and are fun to watch together as the intelligent author and the slightly dim-witted Fabio wannabe. Bullock in particular has great slap-stick timing and it\u2019s on full display in this movie. Channing Tatum isn\u2019t just lovely to look at \u2013 he plays dopey charm in a way that isn\u2019t irritating and in fact, there are times when his character of Alan\/Dash is underestimated by the more educated Loretta Sage.<\/p>\n<p>The supporting cast also doesn\u2019t disappoint. Daniel Radcliffe plays the villain in a fun, mischievous way that is the opposite of Harry Potter. Patti Harrison as the social media assistant is hilarious in a role that really updates the movie and makes it modern. Da\u2019Vine Joy Randolph as Sage\u2019s long suffering agent\/friend is in fine form. Let\u2019s not forget Brad Pitt in a cameo as <a href=\"https:\/\/divine.ca\/en\/divine-reviews-marvel-avengers-s-t-a-t-i-o-n\/\">adventurer<\/a> Jack Trainer. He seems to be having the most fun he ever has in a motion picture.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Lost City\u00a0<\/em>won\u2019t be nominated for any Academy Awards, but it will win the hearts of rom-com lovers. It\u2019s charming, fun and has genuine laugh out loud moments and couldn\u2019t we all use a little bit of that right now?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"post-excerpt\">The Lost City: Synopsis Brilliant, but reclusive author Loretta Sage (Sandra Bullock) has spent her career writing about exotic places in her popular romance-adventure novels featuring handsome cover model Alan&hellip;<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/divine.ca\/en\/divine-reviews-the-lost-city\/\" class=\"button button-primary button-effect\"><span>View Post<\/span><span><i class=\"cs-icon cs-icon-arrow-right\"><\/i><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":1608331,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7861,14],"tags":[10918,10926,10924,10922,10925,10916,10915,10917,10923,5876,10914,10920,10919,10921],"powerkit_post_featured":[2,10391],"class_list":{"0":"post-1608330","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-film-tv","8":"category-reviews","9":"tag-box-office","10":"tag-brad-pitt","11":"tag-channing-tatum","12":"tag-chick-flicks","13":"tag-daniel-radcliffe","14":"tag-film-reviews","15":"tag-movie-reviews","16":"tag-new-releases","17":"tag-rom-com","18":"tag-sandra-bullock","19":"tag-the-lost-city","20":"tag-the-lost-city-2022","21":"tag-the-lost-city-movie","22":"tag-the-lost-city-reviews"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/divine.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1608330","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/divine.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/divine.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divine.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divine.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1608330"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/divine.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1608330\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1608334,"href":"https:\/\/divine.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1608330\/revisions\/1608334"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divine.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1608331"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/divine.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1608330"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divine.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1608330"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divine.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1608330"},{"taxonomy":"powerkit_post_featured","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divine.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/powerkit_post_featured?post=1608330"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
