) Harrison Ford does some awesome acting in this movie. Unlike his Raiders of the Lost Ark, he really tackles some serious sociological issues dealing with the state of America and foreign imports (to name just one issue). Harrison Ford at his best but with an intelligent storyline.
Title is indicative of where the family moved to.

) I saw this on tv a few years ago. I haven't known it to be shown again (or I missed it if it was). I wanted to buy it because it is entertaining, a different role for Harrison Ford, and I enjoy any movie with Helen Mirren. It is a good story, with adventure as well as subtle comedy.
