Plots(1)
When good-hearted dreamer Larry Daley (Ben Stiller) is hired as night watchman at the Museum of Natural History, he soon discovers that an ancient curse brings all the exhibits to life after the sun sets. Suddenly, Larry finds himself face-to-face with a frisky T. rex skeleton, tiny armies of Romans and cowboys and a mischievous monkey who taunts him to the breaking point. But with the help of President Teddy Roosevelt (Robin Williams), Larry may just figure out a way to control the chaos and become a hero in his son's eyes. (20th Century Fox Home Entertainment)

I felt like a little boy whose parents take him to the toy store for a good report card and he can choose a dinosaur on a key, rubber Indians, a big plush lion and a remote control car, too. And when you keep the family morality on a tolerable level, add a message like "Love museums!" and a likeable cast, it's a no-brainer. It's nothing mind-blowing, a visit to the cinema would probably be an unnecessary luxury, but it's definitely a nice relaxing way to spend an evening.

A chill, relaxing movie. Some nice ideas, decent but not groundbreaking visual effects, a terrific Owen Wilson and a great score by Silvestri. Ideal evening entertainment for the family.

A fun romp that certainly doesn't offend, and a perfect thing for the whole family. It's got a lovely magical atmosphere and lots of good ideas, a great score by Alan Silvestri, and the reliable Ben Stiller in the lead role – I can't think of another actor who could get slapped so hilariously by a monkey.

I have to say, when I watched Night at the Museum for the third time recently, the charm of it somehow got to me. The fact that the museum comes to life at night is simply beautiful, enjoyable, and magical. Having legends like Mickey Rooney, Dick Van Dyke, and Robin Williams in it is just fantastic in itself. Well, when you come to think of it, even Ben Stiller doesn't spoil it much.

This spectacular digital farce entertains only in the sense of the two-minute trailer, which managed to concentrate the individual gags into functional humor thanks to the good editing. Given its subject matter, the feature-length version is an unbearably drawn-out series of messing with revived exhibits, with apt cameo roles by the gentlemen from the Frat Pack, in which I was only really amused by the outcast group of Hun warriors led by the ultra-cool Attila. In sum, however, the film amounts to intrusive "family entertainment" on the level of Beethoven or Shrek 3. Even my 11-year-old brother didn’t enjoy it!
