'Lost City' a hilarious adventure

In this hilarious adventure-comedy ‘The Lost City,’ reclusive author Loretta Sage writes about exotic places in her popular adventure novels that feature a handsome cover model named Alan.

While on tour promoting her new book with Alan, Loretta gets kidnapped by an eccentric billionaire who hopes she can lead him to an ancient city’s lost treasure from her latest story.

Determined to prove he can be a hero in real life and not just on the pages of her book, Alan sets off to rescue her.

‘The Lost City’ really does have a bit of something for everyone. The latest Sandra Bullock comedy delivers a lot of very humorous moments (just like most of her work) and a good amount of adventure. Bullock and Channing Tatum really do work well together in all of their scenes and have amazing chemistry. The movie also features some incredible adventure-filled moments that can get really exciting. Some of the adventure bits even have a little bit of mystery included. The scenery that is shown throughout some of the film (mainly the jungle moments) are really nice to check out. The comedy, the action-adventure, the mystery, and, yes, the romance.

And, Brad Pitt definitely steals the show in his small, yet very memorable role as Jack Trainer. Pitt does a great job with the two main leads and can also be quite humorous. At a showing that I attended, the viewing audience was laughing throughout a good amount of the movie. So, I could tell they were having a good time watching this movie. And, the theater was decently packed.

So, if you’re looking for something that will make you laugh and just want to have a good time, then I suggest you check out ‘The Lost City.’ Filled with laughs, great fun and some awesome adventure, ‘Lost City’ really delivers.
