Funny and Entertaining

In this installment of the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, Young Indy (Sean Patrick Flanery) finds himself juggling three girlfriends and working on a theatre production which seems fated for everything to go wrong. Though not the Indiana Jones you may be used to, the show is quite fun, entertaining, and surprisingly funny as well. Don't expect any sort of exciting adventure. This was not made to be anything like that. It is intended as a comedy, and does achieve that well. Great humor, a fun plot, and wholesome entertainment.

And, of course, that Sean Patrick Flanery is just gorgeous.

So, a great addition to the series that I would definitely recommend.
