TOP 5 REASONS TO LOVE THE LOST CITY 1. Sandra Bullock shined. Her charm, comic talent and sheer liveability are on full display. The rest of the cast is glorious and clearly having a lot of fun: Channing Tatum, Brad Pitt, Daniel Radcliffe and Da’Vine Joy Randolph. 2. It’s a romance and it’s good. I’m always a little hesitant when men in Hollywood write and direct romance, but they got it right. Plus The Lost City successfully deploys romance tropes — there’s only one bed; unrequited love; sweet hot hero; heroine is older than the hero — and celebrated romance. Plus Sandra is a romance writer. Bravo. 3. Good d**k jokes. Seriously. I am not normally a fan. There is a lot of word play, jokes and visual jokes. 4 Sandra’s sparkly jumpsuit. First, it’s a jumpsuit. Second, it’s sparkly. Third, it’s pink. The movie’s wardrobe is excellent and the visual look is rich and playful (see Dash’s hair). 5 The Lost City celebrates the HEA.
