mvincent-12339 Review of Jane and the Lost City

Jane and the Lost City (1987)

OK, more cheese than cheddar gorge .... but fun.

[6/10 · 7 February 2021]

This is one of those films where you switch your brain off and just sit back for chuckles. There are no real laugh out loud moments, although the tango scene comes close. The acting could be considered terrible until you remember that it is all done to try to emulate a 1930s comic strip. take that into account and it's not so bad. Jane's clothing coming off every few scenes is nothing for parents to be worried about, she has the 1930s satin underwear on and really, nothing inappropriate at all is seen. The dialogue is written as though it was a comic book and the only thing missing are the little speech bubbles. I watched it because I was bored and it was included in my amazon prime membership. I am very glad that I didn't pay to see it, but may one day watch it again (probably with a very large glass of wine in my hand though).
