the most endearing quality of Nicholas Stoller and Matthew Robinson's script is the way it permits Dora to remain indefatigably upbeat no matter what the situation
every dramatic goal is achieved far too easily, every opponent is ultimately made of straw. The characters are never truly challenged, as if the filmmakers are afraid that any credible peril might prove too frightening for some little kid
a drab family entertainment which lacks the spirit or intelligence of its precocious protagonist; not very funny and never especially touching, this Dora feels dispiritingly perfunctory --- a two-hour babysitting tool that leaves little impression
"Dora and the Lost City of Gold" will resonate with children and fans that grew up watching the cartoon. The material is completely family friendly. Kids will howl with laughter. They're the target audience and will be thoroughly entertained
