A very funny, surprising movie

Rating: 8/10 (6 January 2008)

When we put the movie in the DVD player, what I was expecting was a horror movie. What I got was a really good comedy, with it elements of a horror movie. The first scene, is the scene that makes you think, wow, what a horrible movie this is gonna be. Dumb costumes and that sort of thing. Well, I was wrong. The movie shifts from a sort of "flashback" (not really, but sort of) into the ancient Egyptian times, to the 1930s I think it was. Soon the hero, the heroine, and the other sort of heroes are off, on a magnificent quest for the book of the dead. But they soon unlock terrible secrets. and wake up ancient evils that should have stayed untouched. This movie was hilarious! The actors (and actress) are very funny, and work very well together on screen. Though it might be a formula plot, this movie still entertains and makes you laugh. I definitely recommend that you see it!
