![]() ![]() This one follows Lily Wilder ( Something Wilder - get it? El oh el), who grew up as the daughter of the late, and notorious, treasure hunter Duke Wilder, and who now uses her absentee father’s rare, highly-coveted hand-drawn maps to guide tourists on fake treasure hunts through the maze of canyons scattered throughout Utah. This wasn't my favorite in the CL ouvre (that would be Love and Other Words, The Unhoneymooners, or The Soulmate Equation), but I appreciated them doing something different - this was kinda, sorta, maybe a little bit of an adventure-thriller?! (At times, at least.) I was *not* expecting that. Have you ever seen the 1994 Meryl Streep cinematic classic, The River Wild? The one that features Kevin Bacon in one of his most deranged (and shirtless) roles ever? And a perfect yellow lab named Maggie? And also is the reason why I wholeheartedly believe that David Strathairn can get it? Yes? No? Anyway, Something Wilder by dynamic writing duo Christina Lauren reminded me of it, big time (as well as Without a Paddle and Romancing the Stone). ![]()
