With a title like 'Hieroglyphs of Tomorrow,' one can only expect a film that's part Indiana Jones, part The Jetsons, and all parts absurd. The movie, which seems to have borrowed a time machine only to crash it into a pun shop, delivers exactly what its tagline promises – a decryption of laughs that saves us from the future's potential boredom. Michael Sheat, who plays the detective with a seemingly insatiable appetite for dusty tomes and dusty jokes, strikes an odd, yet endearing balance with Aaron Pawlenty's daring space explorer – a man who has clearly mistaken the ancient pyramids for a new kind of cosmic ski resort. And let's not forget Barn Gar-field, the robotic sidekick who would have C-3PO rolling his eyes with a concoction of snark and silicon. Under Danny Bobcat's whimsical direction, the film is a delightful romp that combines the charm of a silent-era slapstick with the zing of a space-age zapper. The PG-13 rating ensures that the humor remains just edgy enough to elicit giggles without offending the Pharaohs. 'Hieroglyphs of Tomorrow' may not be the hieroglyph we need, but it’s certainly the one we deserve in a future where laughter is the universal language.
