Title: A pleasant surprise
Review: We were standing in the video aisle at the grocery store. It was 7:45 PM on a Friday night. All the new releases were checked out. My 12-year old and 9-year old were debating the merits of viewing The Nutty Professor for the umpteenth time.Then we saw the DVD version of The Mummy. Very low expectations and lack of anything better led us to rent the DVD.WHAT A SURPRISE! This movie reminded me of an old-time Saturday matinee flick. Just gross enough without being gory. Just enough funny and in-cheek humor that didn't descend into 3 Stooges.The most telling sign was in the 'Making of the Mummy" featurette. All the memebers of the production team spoke about how they didn't want to make the effects too gory. Wow! Thinking of the probable adolescent audience! What a concept.Universal Films should be commended for such a fun movie.
