While recent hits like the festive romantic comedy “Meet Me Next Christmas” and the underwhelming thriller “Time Cut” continue to hold the Netflix top 10, a surprising contender is once again in the spotlight. Since its arrival on Netflix on November 9, it has quickly climbed the rankings and currently holds the No. 2 spot.

Starring Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum, “Lost City” delivers a wildly entertaining adventure that incorporates the genre's well-known formula in creative and entertaining ways. Upon its release, this audience-pleaser created a buzz and earned approximately $200 million worldwide. Despite competing with superhero blockbusters and action franchises at the box office, “Lost City” proved that audiences still crave lighthearted escapism with a dash of comedy.

But is “Lost City” worth your time? Here's everything you need to know about why this blockbuster reigns supreme on streaming services and why it might be your next movie viewing...

“Lost City” follows Loretta Sage (Block), a reclusive romance novelist who writes about her exotic adventures from the safety of her home. But when she is kidnapped by an eccentric billionaire (Daniel Radcliffe) who believes he can lead her to the real-life treasure described in her latest novel, Loretta finds herself in the middle of a real-life adventure.

Her only hope of escape comes from Alan (Tatum), a clueless but well-meaning cover model for her book. The unlikely duo sets out on a jungle journey filled with danger and hilarious encounters in order to survive and find the treasure. Along the way, the chemistry between Loretta and Alan begins to spark, adding a romantic twist to this action-packed adventure.

“Lost City” is definitely a worthy choice if you like action-adventure with plenty of comedy, and Netflix subscribers clearly love it, given the film's meteoric rise to second place.

“Lost City” has a high rating of 79% on Rotten Tomatoes and an even higher audience of 83%. Most of its popularity can be attributed to the fact that it is a “really fun adventure romp” that “makes you laugh and feel good, but doesn't make you think too hard. Sometimes it is better to watch an easygoing movie with a funny, straightforward plot and a stellar cast, and that is exactly what “Lost City” offers its viewers.

The majority of critics were also impressed, says Liz Shannon Miller of Consequence: This is not a perfect film, but I hope those involved in making “Lost City” believe in its message. This film will make so many people happy.”

Meanwhile, NPR's Linda Holmes says: “As a broadly goofy comedy featuring two charismatic leads who are perfectly matched with each other, the film very, very effectively scratches a particular itch.

It's not the best comedy-action film, of course, but it has all the ingredients for a good time. If you're looking for something less serious, with (sometimes) flat jokes and goofy humor, “Lost City” may be the next one you watch. Because of its stereotypical romance/comedy portrayal, viewers may know where “Lost City” is going every step of the way, but half the fun is getting there.
