Buy This Item The Librarian - Quest for the Spear by Turner Home Ent  Available from Amazon  $14.99  on 11-25-2008     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 (<i>ER</i>) 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!<P><b>DVD Features:</b> <b>Additional Scenes:</b>15 minutes of unaired bonus footage and special effects <b>Easter Eggs:</b>Hidden interviews with cast <b>Featurette:</b>Behind-the-scenes featurette including never-before-aired interviews with cast and crew Special effects featurette narrated by director Peter Winther <b>Introduction:</b>Introduction by Noah Wyle <b>Photo gallery</b> </p> Reader Reviews 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." How is it "friendly" for my kids to be constantly bombarded with propaganda that sex is just a natural part of dating; no commitment, no "protection," no real knowledge of each other - just jump in the sack!? (And it's clearly implied that the heroine did the same thing with the other "librarian.") Besides that, the plot of this thing was absolutely ludicrous and the special effects laughable. It would take too long to list the plot holes, even if the viewer is trying to buy into the cuteness of the library idea. (For religious viewers, Christianity is denigrated throughout the film by quietly being put on the same level as mythology and fairytales or directly attacked - especially in the scene where the "secret name of God" is revealed to be "Me" - teaching that we are each God.) Under all the "fun" of this goofy film are themes that I don't want my kids absorbing, just for a passing laugh.
