National Treasure - Book of Secrets

On the night of Mom's surgery Dena and I headed out to see this movie, starring Nicholas Cage. It's got all the elements required for a positive Joe rating:

1. All heroes live, and are happy.
2. All bad guys are foiled.

The plot centers around a family trying to clear its name from ties to American villain John Wilkes Booth. In the end, the way to do this was by finding a lost Native American city of gold.

You'll have to set aside any requirements that the plot be realistic. In this aspect I'd say the movie departs from the "highly unlikely" story of its predecessor, to "wildly invented" status here. Beyond that, I'll keep mum on the details and recommend it as a good date movie in theaters.

Famous line: It's a little gold man!
