    Overall the film is alluringly over-the-top without being overcooked.

    If you're going to tell a wildly implausible tale of fortune hunting and unlikely heroes, you could do worse than National Treasure.

    National Treasure is so silly that the Monty Python version could use the same screenplay, line for line.

    The worst movie script I have ever seen, surpassing even Star Wars Episode III, and that's saying alot.
