(It's possible the writing got a little scattershot - the screenplay is credited to the directors Adam and Aaron Nee, plus Dana Fox and Oren Uziel, from a story by Seth Gordon.
It doesn't have the joke density they do, nor the multiplicity of inspired supporting performances. The Lost City isn't up there with the brilliantly silly Paul Feig action comedies that it seems to be inspired by, like Spy and The Heat. And refreshingly, even though there's more than 15 years between Bullock and Tatum, nobody talks about it - just like they rarely talk about it when men in romantic films are significantly older than the women they played opposite. They're also both very good at turning on a dime there's a scene in which they do get to dance together (if you're going to be in a romantic comedy with Channing Tatum, you should certainly get to dance with him), and as silly as the rest of the movie is, that scene is pretty sexy. Movie Interviews Sandra Bullock on playing an ex-con trying to reenter society after 20 years (Although I do like the way that what threatens early on to become a distasteful caricature of romance writing gets some reconsideration as the film goes along.) The draw in The Lost City is simply the fabulous time everybody seems to be having, particularly Bullock and Tatum, who are delightful together, and both of whom capitalize very well on their skills in physical comedy. There's not much to this movie from a plot perspective, and few of the story beats are going to surprise anybody or say anything. But this is really an inversion of that idea, given that Alan is very much not Dash, and in a very funny sequence I really don't want to spoil, you get a chance to see him alongside a guy who is more like Dash, and the two could not be more different. The obvious reference here is Romancing the Stone, the 1984 film in which Kathleen Turner plays a romance novelist who gets swept up in an adventure with Michael Douglas' on-the-nose rugged adventure hero. So it turns into an adventure-romcom, and of course they learn to like each other, and comedy ensues. When Alan - who does like Loretta, even though she doesn't like him at all - realizes she's in trouble, he decides to try to rescue her. Loretta is in the middle of blowing up her book tour when she is grabbed by a couple of dudes who work for a rich jerk named Abigail Fairfax (Daniel Radcliffe), whose reason for kidnapping Loretta relates to her academic work rather than her novels.
