National Pleasure

Rating: 8/10 (18 February 2005)

Despite a wildly far fetched story line,National Treasure was indeed a joy to watch.The whole concept of a modern day treasure hunt laced with "clues" left nearly 250 years in the past was quite an intriguing idea to me,and going in,I was very hopeful not to be let down.I wasn't. It is discovered that a map leading to a wealth of treasure was placed on the back of our beloved Declaration of Independence.Bad guys are out to steal the document and find the treasure for themselves.Nicolas Cage must also set out to steal it in order to protect the treasure.What ensues is a great thrill ride from start to finish.Also,this is a great movie for an entire family to watch as violent content is at a minimum and there is virtually no profanity at all.When it becomes available for rental,I highly recommend it for family night.Pop some popcorn,sit back and enjoy the ride!
