Absolutely hilarious for adults who grew up with Dora. Movie is sure to poke fun at source material and create its own jokes along the way. Actors were good. Cinematography was ok. All in all a fun and humorous movie.

Watch another movie.

The result is goofily charming and a rare, age-appropriate children’s film in which the adults are silly and the kids, especially the girls, are smart.

Dora And The Lost City Of Gold, like that Nancy Drew movie, isn’t really for teenagers, any more than High School Musical is; it’s for tweenage-and-younger kids who look toward the high-school horizon with a combination of aspirational awe and chilling fear.
