Good fun if you suspend all semblance of reality

Nicholas Cage, Jon Voight, Diane Kruger, Ed Harris, Harvey Keitel and Helen Mirren star in "National Treasure: Book of Secrets," a 2007 film that is a follow-up to the first "National Treasure" movie.
In this one, the team looks for the lost City of Gold as they search for clues on two continents that date back to the time of Lincoln's assassination. Also, Ben (Cage) wants to clear the name of his ancestor, who is brought to light as being part of Lincoln's assassination.
Of course, it's all ridiculous, but extremely watchable and entertaining with a wonderful cast of fine actors and some good humor. Diane Kruger looks so much like Jessica Lange to me, it's uncanny. Love Helen Mirren always.
This thing is just pure entertainment. If you take it on a realistic level, as if you're watching something like Schindler's List, you'll hate it. Don't bother with plot holes. Just sit back and enjoy the ride.
