After a string of best sellers, the jaded Loretta would rather her storybook career just end.
The pair portray noted romance novelist Loretta Sage and her steamy cover model Alan as her franchise’s Fabio-inspired champion, Dash. In a slapdash comedy filled with big punchlines - and even bigger explosions - they’ve assembled a couple of the best comedic personalities available in Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum. You can’t totally blame the Nees for leaning heavily on their ensemble. Here, a quartet of marquee names carry a knowingly pastiche romp whose lightweight charm somehow impedes its path to rom-com success.
See, the directing duo are following a similar roadmap used by “Romancing the Stone,” the Indiana Jones franchise, and Tomb Raider: colossal big-budget adventures dependent upon the stars who lead them as much as the exotic locations they call home. In Adam and Aaron Nee’s “ The Lost City,” a wild, careening screwball comedy set in the jungle, the stars are on full display - and they need to be.
