Not only safe for Junior and Grandma but also pretty entertaining.

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.
Sep 27, 2006
A mild holiday caper, for the wettest of afternoons.
Jun 24, 2006
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 film plays on every cliché and every stereotype imaginable, and part of its charm is playing them exactly to an audience's happiest expectations.
Apr 20, 2005
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)".
Apr 17, 2005
A big, overblown wazoo of absurdity.
Jan 24, 2005
This is a bravura film that genuinely understands the nature of true family entertainment and provides it in spades.
Jan 15, 2005
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.
