if you feel safe going to the movies right now, The Lost City is a delight. in a lot of ways it feels like a throwback - think Romancing the Stone or The Mummy - an adventure-comedy with some romance. basically if you liked the trailer it holds its promise.
a thing i didn't expect and i don't think is really a spoiler but cut just in case: ( Read more... )
all the named actors are fab, the Dominican Republic is gorgeous, and the supporting cast (and goat) are charming. it suffers from a little bit of looseness that i guess is just a thing now that movies are full of improvisation instead of polished dialogue, and the action direction could be better. but really we just laughed a lot and it was clear that the cast was having a blast. it will probably end up on Paramount+
*i, um, may have been so obsessed with Romancing the Stone as a child that i tape recorded the dialog. you know, so i could listen to the movie when i wasn't near a tv. *sigh* anyway i can't even think "Joan Wilder" without immediately filling in that line.
