Dora and the Lost City of Gold (Children 7/10; adults 1/10) by Tony Medley Runtime 100 minutes PG Based on the TV series, this is obviously aimed at females under the age of 10. Dora (Isabela Moner), a teenaged explorer, and her high school friends are somehow kidnapped and transported to a South American rainforest where Dora’s parents (Michael Peña and Eva Longoria, who has put on a few pounds since I last saw her) are missing as they are searching for a lost city of gold. What follows has been filmed so many times that it’s astonishing that they are trying it again. What were surprises when first seen in jungle pictures made in the silent era are now things that are to be expected. You’ve seen them over and over again even in films like Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) and they were so trite by then that they were played for laughs. But young girls probably haven’t seen them so this film might have an impact with them. On the positive side the scenes of the rainforest are pleasant. The best thing in the movie is the song/dance under the closing credits
