In Hollywood Dora and The Lost City of Gold Movie Review Movie Review

by Brian Friedman by Brian Friedman Let me start by saying that I love all the ingredients in this recipe. But together at a run- I am happy to report that they totally pulled this film off. The first third of the movie is ning time of 2 hours and 45 minutes, I am wildly frustrated and disappointed. There are a fantastic but then the middle is a little lacking in energy with lots of action for the last third. few gems throughout, but not enough happens. The audience is forced to sit through scene This skews older than you might guess given the source content as Dora is in high school after scene that ends up having minimal (if any) impact on the finale. If you like watching through much of the film. Still very family friendly but not as pre-school as you might have Brad Pitt drive a car for 30 or more minutes, this film is for you. For everyone else? Grade: guessed. Think a PG version of Tomb Raider but with some very strong laughs. Fantastic C minus. cast. Grade: B plus.
