Movie #2115 "The Lost City" (movie theatre) -- here we go, the march of the February/March/April movies that are in between Oscar- nominated ones and Summer spectaculars.....very rarely do any of these movies ever get mentioned again during awards season, but once in a while there's a good one. "The Outfit" was a really good one, but this is just okay. Disclaimer: I am a big Sandra Bullock fan, so anything I watch with her is usually okay with me --- This is supposed to be one of those rom coms with adventure --- the adventure works in that it was entertaining and kept moving along (my favorite part was the car scene, followed by, of course, the leech scene), but I have seen much better rom coms -- these two, as good looking as they are, didn't quite click, and the chemistry between them was nil. She had much better chemistry with Melissa McCarthy and Ryan Reynolds, so I'm kind of blaming it on Channing Tatum, a bit --- or maybe his character? Because he was playing a dumber guy, he kept talking through the jokes, explaining them or making himself look dumber by talking more, and to me, the humor didn't work --- it got in the way of the timing.... it could be the script, too. But anyway, that's why it was just okay to me. If you are looking for fluff when weather is ruining your time to get out and do something else, this would qualify as a good choice. I give it 3.5 out of 5.
