Spanglish

REVIEWS
National Treasure is like an old "serial" that used
to be shown at the theaters when I was a kid. You can't ask too many
questions "How did they do tha?" questions, or you will ruin the
fragile plot. The plot isn't suppose to be intellectual, or
profound, if it was it would ruin this 50's style adventure movie.
This is a cousin to Indiana Jones with out Harrison Ford but
equally fun and entertaining. Is this a great movie? Hardly! Is this
a fun "popcorn" movie with lots of laughs? You bet! It is just a
nice trip back to those Saturday mornings when I went down to the
Fox Theatre in Phoenix, Ariz., to watch cartoons, an episode of the
latest serial and a bad movie. I had so much fun then, and I had a
lot of fun with this movie. On my day off, it was just nice to
escape for a while and sit back and enjoy some fun.
