Only one film under his belt, and already Flynn Carsen (Noah Wylie) is talking like Indiana Jones. "Relax," he tells a companion before daringly retrieving an ancient artifact before it can be used for evil. "This kind of stuff happens to me all the time."
A character of modest charms, Carsen is not your typical movie action hero. His brain serves him better than his brawn. Early on, his knowledge of vegetation plays a key role in a cliff-jumping escape from pursuing bad guys. Carsen, for those just tuning in, is a librarian at the Metropolitan Library, which secretly houses history's mythic artifacts, including the sword Excalibur, and the Shroud of Turin. The fate of the world is once again in Carsen's hands when a map to the legendary King Solomon's Mines is stolen. Carsen embarks on another fantastic global adventure, with stops in Casablanca (with inevitable references to the Humphrey Bogart classic) and Kenya. This time, he has new female companionship, Emily (Gabrielle Anwar), a beautiful archaeologist who can match the much-educated Carsen degree for degree. Reprising their roles from the first film are Olympia Dukakis as Flynn's meddling mother, who tries to fix him up with his third cousin ("You'll have plenty to talk about"), Jane Curtin as flinty library administrator, Charlene ("Save your receipts"), and Bob Newhart as his mentor, Judson. Savvy viewers will see plot twists and character revelations coming from a mile away, but that is all part of the fun, as are the hokey special effects and knowing humor ("There's always a secret passage," Carsen observes while navigating a catacomb).
Who know if there will ever be another Indiana Jones movie. Until then, The Librarian is worth checking out, especially on DVD. --Donald Liebenson.

The Librarian
Indiana Jones Trilogy 2007
Building on the success of the first Librarian film this second installment sees Noah Wyle reprise his role as Flynn Carson "The Librarian"
Like the previous film this one is exceedingly fun, combining a large amount of action and comedy. Along the way 'Carson' (Wyle) is joined on his mission by another archaeologist 'Emily' (Anwar) and a tribesman 'Jomo' plus the occassional word of advise from 'Judson' (Newhart) and an old family friend 'Uncle Jerry' (Foxworth).
pursued by bad guys along the way this is a must for anyone who grew up watching Indiana Jones. and as a bonus watch out for the 3rd installment in December 08'

With more established characters, this is a natural follow on to the original Librarian film. Once again, more passing nods to the Indiana Jones movies. But well done and affectionate. Helps that these movies also offer there own original content although they probably don't take full advantage of the milage that could be got from the Librian profession: "It's amazing what you can learn at the library!" etc.
Very enjoyable, good clean fun.
