A charming Channing Tatum and Sandra Bullock rom-com is coming to Netflix soon. The 2022 title, which was one of the first Channing Tatum movies to premiere when he returned to acting after taking a years-long break from starring in live-action releases, was well-regarded by critics, earning a Certified Fresh score of 79% on Rotten Tomatoes and an even better 83% score from audience members on the review aggregator platform's Popcornmeter. It also became the highest-grossing romantic comedy of the year, earning $192.9 million against its roughly $70 million budget.
The movie, The Lost City, is set to debut on Netflix on November 9, according to a listing on the streaming platform. It follows popular novelist Loretta Sage (Bullock), whose romantic adventure stories are researched so accurately that she is kidnapped by billionaire Abigail Fairfax (Daniel Radcliffe) to help him find the treasure supposedly hidden in the mythical Lost City. Her only hope for survival is to band together with the hapless Alan Caprison (Tatum), a model who portrays her fictional character Dash McMahon on the covers of her books.

The Lost City is well worth a watch for fans of both romance and adventure. The Sandra Bullock movie features both her and Tatum using every ounce of their well-honed charisma to craft a prickly but warm dynamic between their mismatched characters. Daniel Radcliffe is also clearly having fun embracing a kooky villainous role, which is another successful entry in the string of offbeat characters he has played after starring in the Harry Potter movies in titles including Swiss Army Man, Now You See Me 2, Miracle Workers, and Weird: The Al Yankovic Story.
The rest of the Lost City cast is also incredibly stacked. This includes appearances from major stars including Brad Pitt as a would-be rescuer, The Office's Oscar Nuñez as a peculiar pilot, and Saturday Night Live breakout Bowen Yang as a moderator. The key supporting role of Beth Hatten is also played by Da'Vine Joy Randolph. At the time, she was likely best known for her television roles in Only Murders in the Building, Empire, and Prime Video's High Fidelity, but she has since gone on to win an Oscar for her performance in 2023's The Holdovers.
