Product Description:
To be a librarian you must master the Dewey Decimal System ace internet research and if you're new librarian Flynn Carsen (Noah Wyle) save the world! Wyle (ER) heads a sterling cast in a fun fantastical special effects-laden adventure that soars around the world from the Metropolitan Library to the Amazon jungle to the Himalayas. Geeky Carsen lands a job as the Librarian keeper of such top-secret Met treasures as Excalibur and Pandora's Box. Then the Serpent Brotherhood seeking world domination steals one of three parts of the magical Spear of Destiny from the library. Only Flynn aided by a gorgeous bodyguard has the knowhow to thwart their plan. But does he know how to be a hero? He will - even if he has to gouge kick punch brave Mayan death traps and plunge off icy precipices every inch of the way!Running Time: 106 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY UPC: 053939690125

Broadcast to record ratings on the TNT cable network, this Raiders-esque adventure does not go by the book, staring with its atypical action hero and his decidedly uncool profession. Flynn Carsen (Noah Wylie from E.R.) is a thirtysomething perpetual student who still lives with his mother (Olympia Dukakis). When his exasperated professor finally ejects him into the real world, Carsen's Holmesian deductive acumen lands him a job as the librarian at the Metropolitan Library. This is not an ordinary library. It houses history's most mythic artifacts, including the Ark of the Covenant, Pandora's Box, and the sword Excalibur. The fate of the world is in Carsen's hands ("That's so sad," he observes) when the dread Serpent Brotherhood steals the library's Spear of Destiny, and Carsen must retrieve it. His reluctant, and antagonistic, partner is Nicole (Sonya Walger), who is as skilled in martial arts as Carsen is schooled in the Dewey Decimal System. Bob Newhart and Jane Curtin add welcome comic relief, with Newhart, of all people, getting into the action by film's end. The humble hero (who would rather be known as "Flynn, the rather pleasant at parties"), somewhat cheesy special effects, and corny comedy make The Librarian a fun guilty pleasure. As Carsen proclaims, "Being a librarian is actually a cool job." This looks like the beginning of a beautiful franchise. --Donald Liebenson

- Great fun!Flynn Carson is the classic professional student. He's 32, lives with his mother, doesn't date, reads voraciously, and has racked up 14 years in college and 22 degrees. Then, halfway through a project to build an exact one-tenth replica of the Great Pyramid (including the long-missing golden capstone), his professor throws him out of the class with no comprehensible (to Flynn or the viewer) reason except that it's time for him to go out and experience life in the real world.

- Unsophisticated But Very Entertaining.The plot, actors and production are unsophisticated, and even predictable. But there is a continuous mix of comedy and action that keeps viewer interest and makes the movie entertaining. It is also more family friendly than most contemporary movies.

- I want more!!!Loved Noah Wyle as reluctant Indiana Jones, I just hope there are more of these to come!!
great fun movie!!!!
Rating:
- Poorly Done and Not that "Family-Friendly"I have to respond to this movie being called "family friendly" by so many reviewers. I took a chance on this on Netflix because of that oft-repeated term - and was very disappointed. I understand that the movie didn't have as much cursing and the blood a lot of films do - but those films shouldn't be watched by young kids, anyway. I can't call this "family-friendly" with an comedically-staged sex tryst between the leading man and lady in the middle of the movie! So what if they didn't "show it." ... Read More
