The best of the three...
struggling for a date
Flynn Carsen (Noah Wyle) is troubled by his romantic difficulties. Judson (Bob Newhart) tells him that the Librarian is a celibate monk. Charlene (Jane Curtin) suggests taking a vacation. Flynn follow a dream to New Orleans. He encounters lounge singer Simone Renoir (Stana Katic) who is literally the girl from his dream.
At least, this movie hits on my issue with this franchise. Flynn has a dating problem and Simone is not solving it. Also, she has lived long enough to lose that fake French accent. It's a little annoying when it's supposed to be sexy. Her boobs are more than enough. In the end, I like the TV show a lot better than the movies.
By far and away the best of The Librarian series
The original movie was not terrible and had its moments, but I did find it lacking. The second is an improvement but is pretty much the same. I thoroughly enjoyed this one, the third in the series. It may not be perfect, the effects range from decent to excessively mediocre, some of the explanation of the plot points was rather obvious and unneeded and some of the supporting cast are still underused so that they can't do much with their roles. However, the photography and scenery are splendid, and the score is suitably rousing. The dialogue has its witty and clever moments rather than the tired humour of the first two, and the story while somewhat derivative is actually exciting with some thrilling set pieces. Jane Curtin and Bob Newhart continue to steal the film with their subtly deadpan delivery, while Noah Wyle is at his most natural and likable, Stana Katic is the first female lead to not feel out of place or bland, she is sexy and with some steel, and Bruce Davison is also enjoyable. Overall, very enjoyable and the best of the series. 7/10 Bethany Cox
