The problem with ripping off the concept and scenes from "Romancing the Stone" is that you need to come up with something even better, or even just equally charming, which this is not. Just 15 minutes in I was already thinking that it didn't make any sense (a romance writer is the only person in America who can decipher ancient alphabets?) There are some fun moments and pretty cinematography, but it is inconsistent. There is zero chemistry between the Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum characters and they never really find their groove (Danielle Radcliffe and Brad Pitt are great though!) All in all -- give it a pass.
