Night at the Museum

Pros: Moments of humor, Decent DVD bonus features
Cons: Entirely predictable, Premise never develops beyond itself.

Some weeks ago, my partner was in our bedroom laughing constantly as I wrote my daily reviews and I poked my head in to see why. She was watching "Night At The Museum" and she seemed to be enjoying it. As I prepared for Summer Blockbuster Season, I ...

Pros: A movie full of fun, and allows you to learn about different people throughout history.
Cons: Some of the acting isn't that good form some of the cast.

I have to admit this is a movie packed full of fun for kids, and a basic introduction to many cultures, and important figure heads in history Such as Theodore Rossevelt played by Robin Williams.Ben Stiller is Larry Daley who gets a night job ...

Pros: excellent special effects, laugh-out-loud moments, family entertainment
Cons: some stupid moments in the movie

I didn't know what to expect when I first watched Night at the Museum.  In some ways the movie disappointed me, and in other ways I was captivated.  Let me tell you why this movie draws me back for repeated DVD viewings. ...

Pros: Good Cast, Great CGI, family friendly
Cons: Drags in parts,lacks oomph, did not work

We borrowed the DVD of Night at the Museum from our friendly neighbours, recently. We often swap DVD's between each other and have seen some crackers over the years. As they have small children we often find that the films are really children's films but ...

Pros: funny and magical
Cons: anachronisims

I saw night at the Museum when it hit theaters and when I found it on a used DVD rack I decided to purchase it. I remember liking it in theater and it’s still a magical experience at home. It is a magical movie filled with lots of humor even though there ...

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: acting, funny, plot and pacing, fun for kids
Cons: none

This movie had some great acting and good plot and pacing! It is also good from a lot of laughs! Ben Stiller stars in this comedy about a divorced father who needs to find a new job and applies for a night watchman at a museum. But now he discovers 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: -Hilarious -Family oriented -Great CG effects
Cons: -A bit of a slow start

Honestly I liked the movie. When I saw it for the first time I didn’t expect to laugh as much as I did. I suddenly had the giggles for this movie since I started cracking up every 10 minutes. Even though the story seems out there, at least they try to ...

Pros: Very funny.
Cons: Some logic gaps but it is fiction

Starring two comedy greats: Dick Van Dyke and Mickey Rooney. The basic story is a guy cannot keep a job for long. He is divorced and the mom of his kid is concerned that he is not showing a good example for his son. He goes to an employment agency and ...

Pros: family friendly, totally funny, action and adventure!
Cons: some foul language

I was extremely wary of seeing this movie. I'd seen the previews and written it off as another one of those "kid's" movies that in truth are full of adult content. Then we were at a friend's house and they put it on for the kids and assured me I would ...

Pros: Family entertainment, funny, solid cast
Cons: Some story lines undeveloped, suspension of disbelief factor very high

I have to say I was puzzled when I first saw previews for this movie. Why would Ben Stiller want to do such a movie? I then saw that Owen Wilson was also in it so I thought it might not be too bad. I was pleasantly surprised at the entertainment ...

Pros: A Great movie with wonderful, historical characters
Cons: None

This is a great family movie. The basic premise behind this movie is that a museum is hiring a new night guard. Larry Daley has a son whose extremely disappointed in him because he's about to be evicted from his apartment. Because of this, Larry ...

Pros: Will watch again and again.
Cons: Needs better special features.

Fantastic movie for all ages. Entertaining the whole time. I love Robin Williams as Teddy Roosevelt and Dick Van Dyke as the old night watch man. He still has his moves with the rubber legs too. All the museum special effects are outstanding, don't ...

Pros: Good movie, fun and adventurous for kids. Great animals that come to life.
Cons: Predictible.

The night at the museum movie, is a really good movie. This is odd, but my 2-year old son has to watch it a couple times a day. He loves all the animals that come to life in it, and the dinosaur bones (that also comes to life). I think he really ...
