Turteltaub manages to stitch it all together well enough so that the ludicrous nature of the characters' quest doesn't hit you until the final credits roll.

It's so completely okay it hurts. It would make a perfect screensaver.

If you can see the film through the eyes of a child -- one who thinks a cheesy thriller is the ideal way to pick up new facts about history -- then this isn't that bad a yarn.

A mild holiday caper, for the wettest of afternoons.

Has almost nothing to recommend it (Justin Bartha’s performance being the lone high point), not even any gnarly explosions, which doesn’t bode well for our man Bruckheimer.

The treasure hunt is cool in this DVD, it's a whole game of numbers and quizzes go get to some of the Easter eggs.

The film plays on every cliché and every stereotype imaginable, and part of its charm is playing them exactly to an audience's happiest expectations.

The historical touches make the film more akin to classics like "Raiders of the Lost Ark" than to duds like "Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins (and ended simultaneously)".

A big, overblown wazoo of absurdity.

This is a bravura film that genuinely understands the nature of true family entertainment and provides it in spades.

National Treasure may be dumb and relatively short on action scenes, but it's still a lot of fun, largely thanks to Cage and Bartha.
