The Lost City Mines Ancient Gold

Can a fully dressed Sandra Bullock, and in one scene, a butt naked Channing Tatum make movie magic? They are banking on it, but we've seen this movie before. Many, many times actually. It's one part Indiana Jones / Raiders of the Lost Ark and one part Romancing the Stone. There's even shades of The Proposal. It's just not as clever even if Daniel Radcliffe from Harry Potter fame takes a very effective turn as the movie's bad guy. No worries, though. Sandra Bullock is still charming! Her physical comedy is in full Miss Congeniality form. And the movie has its moments of fun. The Lost City is a second rate film, but it's nice to see her back on the big screen. Is it worth your money? Only if you don't mind  the rehash of much better films that came before it.
