Night at the Museum

Pros: Stiller, supporting cast, visual effects
Cons: Not really

Here is your challenge: find the perfect movie. Oh, not the perfect cinematic achievement, no – something far more difficult. Find the perfect movie for every member of your family. The one that everyone can see together. The one that is: ...

Pros: Van Dyke, Rooney, and Cobbs have fun, other fun moments
Cons: Logic and characterization get lost; climax turns heavy

The Museum Of Natural History in New York offers more than meets the eye to a few select people. Three elderly security guards named Cecil (Dick Van Dyke), Gus (Mickey Rooney), and Reginald (Bill Cobbs) know those secrets, and have kept them to ...

Pros: Good cast, effects, music, and a lot of fun
Cons: Too slow at first, a bit vicious in places.

Night at the Museum is an enjoyable family movie that has enough good things in it to overcome a few drawbacks. It stars Ben Stiller as Larry Daley, a dreamer who’s always trying a new business venture, but who eventually settles for a ...

Pros: some funny moments, an intriguing premise
Cons: much of the story falls flat, lack of real emotion, didn't have consistancy in presentation

Ben Stiller is Larry Daley, a guy between jobs, in the new film Night At the Museum. He hasn't had a lot of success in regards to holding down a career, and that could translate very negatively in his private life. His ex-wife doesn't feel that ...

Pros: Entertaining from start to finish; great effects; still, Wilson and Coogan
Cons: None

Looking after a 4-month old boy increases one thing... time spent on the couch watching television. This is, by no means, a daily ritual but the frequency of it has increased, mostly due to the sheer exhaustion of trying to stay awake. Yes, I use ...

Pros: Stiller and Williams were great
Cons: Silly at times

Night at the Museum stars Ben Stiller and Robin Williams in a family adventure comedy that combines elements of Jumanji with Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure. Owen Wilson and Steve Coogan also appear in supporting roles. This film ...

Pros: Plot, effects, acting...
Cons: None.

My mother-in-law recently gave us "Night at the Museum," which came out last Christmas. And although I like Ben Stiller, I had my doubts about how "family friendly" this movie would be. And knowing my in-laws, whose movie tastes are...well, they're not ...

Pros: Mindless holiday fun
Cons: You'll have forgotten it within a month.

Is Night at the Museum the best movie I have seen in a long time? No. Will it gather awards for acting, directing and cinematography? No. Is it a perfect mindless escape after weeks of Christmas Shopping, wrapping and other holiday preparations? YES! ...

Pros: the old guards; visual effects
Cons: silly story; pacing; ending

I’d read a few reviews of 2006’s Night at the Museum lavishing praise on it for its high fun content for the family and so finally I decided I needed to watch it for something different. I wasn’t too impressed with the silly, rather tedious ...

Pros: Robin Williams
Cons: potty humor

When we were very young, my family went to a museum and were greeted inside by a massive Tyrannosaurus Rex. It was only a model, of course, but that didn't stop my brother from being so freaked out that he ran screaming from the building. I can only ...

Pros: funny, light-hearted, good family stuff
Cons: cliche-ridden, derivative, mindless slapstick

"That movie was freaking great." --Unidentified moviegoer walking out of Night at the Museum "Why are there exhibits on cowboys and Romans at a museum of NATURAL history?" --Bill Kilpatrick Night at the Museum is one of those rare films that ...

Pros: Acting, jokes, special effects
Cons: Story needed a little ironing out

Larry Daley (Ben Stiller) is between jobs. Again. His brilliant inventions are either too far ahead of their time or already taken. This is wearing on his son Nick (Jake Cherry) who at ten years old is already developing a back up plan in case his first ...

Pros: Funny, great acting, great cast
Cons: A lot of untied knots

I have a huge problem when movies seem good and then as it progresses there are areas in which the movie does not cover. If a flick is going to bring up an issue then that issue better be solved before the credits start to roll. This is my main ...

Pros: Highly entertaining family action/adventure for the Holidays
Cons: The trailer gave away too much, but the film is still well worth it!

Larry Daley is at loose ends. In fact, it appears as if he has been drifting for years, much to the concern of his now ex-wife, Erica, and disappointed son, Nick. After the failure of his invention, The Snapper... evidently a significant portion of the ...

Pros: Mickey Rooney, funny moments.
Cons: Pacing, unresolved issues

Last night, I spent a night at the Cineplex watching A Night At The Museum. As expected, it was a fun movie with some (predictably) heartwarming moments. The movie centers around Larry Daley, a hapless Ney Yorker (played by Ben Stiller). He is ...
