Turteltaub manages to stitch it all together well enough so that the ludicrous nature of the characters' quest doesn't hit you until the final credits roll.

If you can see the film through the eyes of a child -- one who thinks a cheesy thriller is the ideal way to pick up new facts about history -- then this isn't that bad a yarn.

Has almost nothing to recommend it (Justin Bartha's performance being the lone high point), not even any gnarly explosions, which doesn't bode well for our man Bruckheimer.

Though Turtletaub's direction is inspired, everything else from acting, to plot, and dialogue falls flat...

Not only safe for Junior and Grandma but also pretty entertaining.

National Treasure gets more entertaining as the preposterousness rises.

Taken simply as a popcorn flick, National Treasure has its pleasures.

A mild holiday caper, for the wettest of afternoons.
