WONDERFUL FAMILY MOVIE FOR THE HOLIDAYS--NO NEED TO CRINGE!!

Rating: Null/10 (22 November 2004)

My husband and I watched this movie this weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it. We will be taking our children back during the Thanksgiving holidays. There was action, romance, history, and laughter in this movie--good combination. It was exciting enough to keep you interested but not scary either. What impressed us is that the producers did not take the opportunity to add profanity, sexual comments, and nudity to up the rating to PG-13. There were lots of funny oneliners that were...just funny! We have teenage sons and a preteen daughter and we are very careful about what they watch. This is one movie we will buy and watch together on family night, with popcorn and cookies!! Hooray for Nicolas Cage, his fellow actors, and the producers!
