The Lost City review – Bullock and Tatum bring welcome silliness (The Guardian)

Tongues are firmly in cheeks in this amiable adventure-comedy which sees game performances and quality cameos deliver the laughs.

There is also a very bizarre scene, apparently inspired by The African Queen, in which Bullock has to pluck blood-sucking slugs from Tatum’s rock-hard buttocks and is then reduced to gibbering inarticulacy at the sight of his penis. But when an evil bearded British billionaire (Daniel Radcliffe) kidnaps Loretta and takes her to a mysterious island because he is convinced she can tell him about ancient treasure there, silly Alan has to toughen up and be the swashbuckling hero he dreams of being, by rescuing her. There are some amusing touches and quality cameos, including one from Brad Pitt as the (genuine) tough guy that they initially hire to find Loretta. Bullock duly has a stunned piece of dialogue with him: “Why are you so handsome?” “My dad was a weatherman.” There is also Da’Vine Joy Randolph as Loretta’s manager Beth, who has her own adventure getting to the island to ensure her client is safe.

The Lost City review: Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum prove ... (The Independent)

Adventure romcom is the kind of project that's suctioned itself to its A-list leads like a barnacle on a ship.

The Lost City, for the most part, finds that sweet spot between goofy and sincere, especially during the scenes where Tatum’s Alan tries to match up to the mercenary hired to rescue Loretta, played by none other than Brad Pitt. The star flips his long, blonde locks around like he’s back in Legends of the Fall, and smoulders with smug self-satisfaction. It’s lovely to watch the way Loretta warms up to Alan once his self-imposed image of masculinity starts to chip away, as she tenderly applies eczema cream to his back while laying out how she’d describe the moment in one of her novels. She’s now slumming it – in her opinion – as the author of a series of steamy romance novels. Alan, in a way, has become the physical manifestation of her own self-loathing. It’s about capturing the sweet, wounded desperation of a man who’s aware of the pressure on him to fulfil some kind of masculine ideal, but wouldn’t even know where to start. And, finally, in The Lost City, he’s been paired with his ideal opposite: Sandra Bullock, the actor you call to play very smart women who still can’t seem to keep their lives together, who delivers in ways that are relatable as opposed to patronising.

Sandra Bullock says 'it's going to be odd' watching Channing Tatum ... (Daily Mail)

The film star, 57, confessed it would be 'odd' watching Channing, 41, strip in Magic Mike after working with him on new film The Lost City.

That combination of adventure, fun and some of that,' she teased, while gesturing to Channing. 'The fact that we were all living together and quarantined together made it that much sweeter. Then the pandemic happened and we made it. Sandra said: 'That's the reason we did this film, so they could have one long, Covid-safe play date. 'We met through drama, in the principal's office at preschool. I'll sit next to you during the show.'

The Lost City movie review: Sandra Bullock's latest rom-com is a ... (Evening Standard)

soteric historian, widow and conflicted author Loretta Sage (Sandra Bullock) writes bonkbusters set in exotic locales, and on the cover of every one of her ...

The mood is what you might call meta-hen-night. Pay no attention to critics who say this film is a rip off of Romancing the Stone. The plots may overlap, but the casting doesn’t. In 1984, it was the norm for a male actor in a big-budget romance to be at least a decade older than his co-star. After being kidnapped (this rom-com is both long and implausible) by Abigail Fairfax, a treasure-seeking billionaire ( Daniel Radcliffe, trying so hard to make his potty character fun), the waspish Loretta finds herself on a remote jungle island with Alan. Though Loretta is initially contemptuous of this sweet, somewhat dim metrosexual, she soon finds herself peeling leeches off his naked butt and, when confronted by his penis, jibbering with joy.

The Lost City: Sandra Bullock pelted with cheese and nuts during ... (Metro)

Daniel Radcliffe has opened up about the wild moment he watched on as Sandra Bullock was pelted with cheese on the set of The Lost City.

It would have to be as good, if not better, than the [original] concept,’ she said. On the suggestion that a sequel in the desert could be ‘fun’, she questioned: ‘For who?!’ ‘Wanting to prove that he can be a hero in real life and not just on the pages of her books, Alan sets off to rescue her. Discussing whether we would ever get a sequel of Loretta, Alan and Abigail on another wild adventure, Sandra said she would be keen to delve back into the pages – with a few conditions. ‘I had a true “what is my life and what is my job” moment when I was on set, in the meat and cheeseboard vortex hurricane scene that happens,’ he said. The flick follows romance novelist Loretta Sage (Sandra) as she’s kidnapped by a villainous billionaire Abigail Fairfax (Daniel), so that she can lead him to a lost treasure.

Sandra Bullock wants MCU to cast Daniel Radcliffe as Wolverine (The Digital Fix)

Sandra Bullock has called on Marvel Studios to cast her Lost City co-star Daniel Radcliffe in the MCU as the clawed mutant Wolverine.

So for all of you Radcliffe hopefuls, fear not; there is still the chance that you and Sandra Bullock will get your Wolverine wishes yet. Sandra Bullock has spoken up about what she wants to see in the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe – and that is Daniel Radcliffe in a new X-Men movie. However, in 2019, Marvel Studios obtained the film rights to X-Men after Disney acquired 21st Century Fox – meaning that we may see a new incarnation of Wolverine pop up in the MCU sometime in Phase 4.
