Chicago Tribune Allison Benedikt
Overall the film is alluringly over-the-top without being overcooked.

Baltimore Sun Michael Sragow
A wholesome, headlong extravaganza - a sort of North by Northeast sans high style and erotic innuendo.

An undeniable pleasure of National Treasure was watching a movie shot locally that wasn't haunted by a virus or by dead people.

If you're going to tell a wildly implausible tale of fortune hunting and unlikely heroes, you could do worse than National Treasure.

The character of a scruffy computer nerd, played with might-as-well-enjoy-myself charm by little-known actor Justin Bartha, steals the picture from glossier players.

San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle
It has no ambition, little sense and false sentiment, but it does have velocity, high spirits and scale.

Ten minutes into the picture, you're searching the screen for life-support machines.

If the Founding Fathers had known National Treasure would be the result of their efforts to forge a new nation, they might have reached for the Wite-Out.

It's not just hard to believe any of this, it's impossible. And director Jon Turteltaub (Phenomenom) directs with robotic cheerlessness.

Disney's National Treasure is supposed to be family-friendly, a PG-rated action adventure free of hard violence and bad language. That's admirable, to be sure, but with a friend like this a family doesn't need sleeping pills.
