DORA AND THE LOST CITY OF GOLD
Dora (Isabela Moner) after being raised and home-schooled by her parents, now must adapt too high school life while her parents are on an adventure looking for the Lost City Of Gold. Unfortunately she has to then go try and find her parents.
This film was clearly not made for me. So I am open minded enough to understand the age group it is for, however I have to tell you it was kind of entertaining for the adults in the audience.
The casting is what makes it work:
Moner is great at playing the brilliant Dora, and yet socially clueless.
Eva Longoria and Michael Pena are perfectly cast in small roles as Dora's parents
The great Eugenio Derbez is brought in for comic relief.
Nicholas Coombe; Madeleine Madden; and Jeff Wahlberg as Dora's new found friends are funny.
As for the story...it is a basic B league Indiana Jones Jr. It works even though it has big holes; and is silly; and becomes a little messy at the end. Kids will not notice the problems.
They may notice however the cheap bad effects and the awful decision to use that monkey!!!! You have to see it to know. It takes away from the film.
3 stars out of 5 for the just better than average Dora The Lost City Of Gold.
From the shadows as always thanks for you time.
