Title: A "Tom Sawyer" Tale: Give it a break, folks.
Product review: All right folks: take this film for what it is. It is not an attempt to bring you Oscar-worthy entertainment. It is a fast-paced, ridiculous, fun adventure ride that borrows elements from a host of other films, books, and legends. Does the plot make sense all of the time? No...but it doesn't have to. Sure, I was amazed by Nicholas Cage's amazing ability to decipher clues that have remained a mystery for hundreds of yers. Could anyone have realistically done so? No way. But my question is: why let that spoil all of your fun?If you were at all interested by the previews, or simply enjoy a treasure-hunting tale, or simply are a fan of American history (regardless, of whether the "Da Vinci Code/Masons" story is plausible), you will enjoy this movie. Just don't take it too seriously. Nicholas Cage keeps this film afloat and the visual/camera work is very well done.So sit back, grab a bag of popcorn, and give yourself over to a Tom Sawyer tale.
