The Lost City

a review by Manuel São Bento

"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."
