Family Friendly Adventure

Rating: 6/10 (21 January 2007)

I rented this film on a friend's recommendation, not realizing it was a Disney movie at the time. It had it's moments, but I found it a little light for an adventure film. Indiana Jones without the creepy parts. Nicholas Cage and Justin Bartha played well off of each other. I did find the slight romantic angle a little annoying and didn't really add anything to the film. If it had been a bit more mature, they really could have built up the Masonic angle. They also took a lot of liberty with the historical aspect of Freemasonry too. Probably because the average person seeing it wouldn't know better. All in all, it was enjoyable and a good, clean family film. On the order of "Second Hand Lions", though I personally found that far superior.
