Technically any good? FX are pretty solid for it's time and the acting was pretty solid, too. Well, they were all believable little kids. The badguys were less believable, but I liked Robert Davi's twist on the typical Italian-American gangster. The story was pretty solid over-all--now we know where Nicholas Cage's National Treasure got the idea from.
How did it leave me feeling? Happy, but a little bored. Movies these days tend to have too many endings or too few. I wasn't used to the climax being a little flat and a wrap-up that managed to sneak in a few more fat-jokes, Asian jokes and a reasonable ending to a film. One truly nitpicky point: pirates on the west coast??
Final Rating? SIYL - See If You Like - This kind of film is so much fun and perfect for everyone over the age of about ten or twelve, in my mind. There are a few randy jokes, but nothing you can't say "we'll explain that when you're older" to.
