If you're looking for a good rental, here are a couple of fun ones.

Sahara (2005)

Here's a summery taken from www.imdb.com :

Master explorer and former US Navy Seal Dirk Pitt and his wisecracking buddy Al Giordino goes on the adventure of a lifetime of seeking out a lost Civil War ironclad battleship known as the "Ship of Death" that protects a secret cargo is lost somewhere in the deserts of West Africa. But while the two cross paths with a beautiful and brilliant U.N. scientist Dr. Eva Rojas who is being hounded by a ruthless dictator. She believes that the hidden treasure may be connected to a larger problem that threatens the world around them. Hunting for a ship that no one else thinks exists, Dirk, Al, and Eva must rely on their wits and their daring heroics to outsmart dangerous warlords, survive the threatening terrain, and get to the bottom of both mysteries.

This is a fun movie! I just saw it for the first time a couple of days ago. It's funny and pretty clean. I think this one is worth owning. It's sort of like a more intense National Treasure (interestingly enough, they both came out the same year). I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. I thoroughly enjoyed it,

*Caution: Some violence, swearing, and at the end the girl is in a bikini. Nothing too bad though.

Bedtime Stories (2008)

Here's the summery taken from www.imdb.com :

Skeeter Bronson (Adam Sandler) works [in a hotel] as a janitor and general servant, but unlikely as it seems, he still dreams of becoming the manager. When Nottingham [the owner of the hotel] announces a brand-new gigantic hotel project, he makes his future son-in-law, base Kendall (Guy Pierce), manager, shattering Skeeter's dream. At the same time Skeeter's sister Wendy (Courtney Cox) has to leave town for a job interview and asks him to alternate looking after her two children Patrick (Jonathan Morgan Heit) and Bobbi (Laura Ann Kesling) with Wendy's responsible-minded colleague Jill (Keri Russell). He doesn't get along with either Jill or the children, but his easy-goingness loosens them all up and once he starts telling his bedtime stories, the children grow fond of him and begin to bring in their ideas about how the stories should go. When the stories turn out to become true in real life, Skeeter tries to manoeuver the stories into a direction which will make his dream come true, too.

I was pleasantly surprised by this one too. While it was forgetable afterwards, it was funny during. It was nice because Adam Sandler didn't bother me as much as I expected either.

So all in all, it was a cute, fun movie, and a good rental.

*Caution: Some immodesty
