Night at the Museum

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: Combines fantasy, humor, and mystery, with adventure
Cons: Underdeveloped love interests

After a rough week I was in the mood for a mindless light comedy and a Night at the Museum filled the bill. The story starts with the main character, Larry Daley played by Ben Stiller, getting a job as the night security for the Museum of ...

Pros: great premise; seamless CGI effects; funny and entertaining for kids; even has a lesson!
Cons: Ben Stiller; heavy-handed approach to back-story; lesson not likely to stick

We may deplore the long wait till the next instalment of Harry Potter and Narnia all we want, but the kids in our lives still demand to be taken to the movies during the holiday season. What is Christmas without a family movie, after all? ...

Pros: Lots of laughs and action, fast paced at times, enjoyable for all the family
Cons: may not be suitable for young children under 6yrs

Pros: Some undeniably nifty special effects
Cons: Poor script and direction

In last week's "Entertainment Weekly," critic Lisa Schwarzbaum said of so-called "harmless" kids' movies, "Why should youthful eyeballs be forced to tolerate anything ours wouldn't?" Her comment repeatedly came to mind as I watched Night at the ...

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: Ben Stiller, Robin Williams
Cons: none

I have been hearing nothing but good about this movie. So, my son, stepdaughter and I went to the movies. Of course, they each picked a separate movie to watch. After all, he's 18 and doesn't always like what I watch! Do they ever? Okay, onward ...

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: Solid plot, Funny, solid acting.
Cons: none.

I went to see this movie with my family on Christmas. We all laughed and had a good time. Night at the Museum is a funny, family film. It also has the message that all of us have greatness inside us. The plot is solid. The acting is good and the ...

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: Lots of laughs, family friendly
Cons: Not the strongest plot, but that's ok in a fun, family, holiday flick!

This movie is not showing up on the "Coming Soon" in the theater section yet, and I sent a request last week asking that it be added, but still no luck. I add it to this only available section for now. The Plot Poor Larry Daley. (Ben ...

Pros: Decent Effects
Cute Story
Cons: No Special Features
Somewhat Incomplete Plot
Robin Williams steals the show

Pros: Ben Stiller, Robin Williams, Picturization.
Cons: No real twist in the tale.

Introduction When I heard the name Night At the Museum, the name did not get me very enthused to watch the movie. My memories of museum are generally where dead people's statues are kept along with the things they used. But, then when I ...

Pros: Fun, family-friendly, amusing
Cons: Forgettable, unexceptional, and not demanding in the cognitive department

***This review contains minor spoilers (just what you could get from a trailer)*** I saw Night at the Museum in theatres with my immediate family – parents, myself, and boys ages 14, 10, and 10. Larry Daley (Ben Stiller) is not a particularly ...

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 ...
