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: Fairly clean for a Ben Stiller movie, good for families Cons: Sometimes the benign violence is mean spirited
Night at the Museum is better than most Ben Stiller movies who comes across as a one dimensional actor who likes to take smut to its higher (or lower?) level. I saw the movie out of extreme boredom one evening but was more than pleasantly surprised ...

Pros: Plenty of comedians... Cons: ... very few laughs.
Ben Stiller starring in a PG rated film is about as natural and believable as casting the dearly departed Rodney Dangerfield in the role of God. Oh wait, they did do that, I forgot about the 1995 comedy, “Angels and Angles,” silly me. Mr. Stiller, whose ...

Pros: Good for all ages, interesting characters Cons: No major complaints from here
Night at the Museum is one of few movies out that I think both kids and adults can enjoy. It has interesting characters that appeal to kids without being cutesy, yet has a storyline that adults can appreciate. Ben Stiller stars as Larry, a ...

Pros: since it's dismissable and vapid, it won't compound your headache. Cons: movie can't discern between good ideas on paper vs ideas that can be executed.
Movie: Night At The Museum: Stars: Ben Stiller, Carla Gugino, Owen Wilson. Rating: ** "Night At The Museum" spends a lot of time revving up the engine and the bellicose characters certainly shout and yell a lot, mostly things about friendship ...

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: Appropriate for all ages, excellent special effects, and well-done stunts Cons: Ben Stiller had one scene that you just wanted him to stop talking
I expected special effects - I got it in spades. I expected a couple of good laughs, since after all, it is Ben Stiller - some of his scenes leave everyone rolling in the aisles. What I did not expect were three old (I mean very old) comics to sneak in ...

Pros: Very funny, great cast, good effects. Cons: Can't think of any.
I recently went with my family to see Night at the Museum. To put it in perspective I went with my parents who are in their late forties and my two sisters, one who 24, and another who is 16. I am 20. We haven't gone to see a family movie in quite some ...

Pros: Entertaining, feel-good, family-friendly. Cons: No depth, not that funny, one-time watch.
My husband and I decided to check this movie out at IMAX since it has some special effects. We love going to museums and enjoy Stiller's performance so it looks like an interesting match. If you like cotton-candy, feel-good, family fanfare, this rates ...

by ulsterscot , Jul 31 '07
Pros: Great photography and effects, some good laughs. Cons: The 'doofus dad trying to prove himself' theme is old stuff.
I mean 'Hun' as in Attila, who has a good cry after doofus security guard Larry (Ben Stiller) puts him in touch with his inner abused child. I rather enjoyed this silly comedy, although the first five minutes seemed way too familiar: sweet ne'er-do-well ...

Pros: Big name Comedians. Cons: Not funny. Long and drawn out.
I'm glad I didn't pay to see NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM at the theater. I expected much more with such big names in comedy. Another example proving a big name cast does not a good movie make. Ben Stiller was good in MEET THE PARENTS. He is OK in such ...

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: Great Family Film, hilarious when funny, promotes learning Cons: Parts/Events didn't make sense relative to the premise. Jokes that weren't funny at all.
My brother called me at about noon on Saturday and asked if my wife and I wanted to go see "Night at the Museum" with him and his wife. I was planning to wait to see this one on DVD since it didn't seem like one that I just had to see in theaters, but ...

Pros: Great actors and Supporting actors, Hilarious Screenplay, and good movie for everyone to see. Cons: Major logical errors, mediocre plot, and unaccurate historically.
Despite a few glitches in movie logic, Night at the Museum was a great movie that is good for ages 1-100. This movie has something for everyone to laugh at and does so without using crude joking, provocative scenes, or other offensive material. Very ...

Pros: Hilarious and heart warming Cons: One line where inappropriate language ruled the moment.
It is Christmas Eve 2006 and I just returned with my family from viewing "Night at the Museum" starring Ben Stiller and a host of other outstanding actors and actresses. "Night at the Museum" was fantastic. The comedy was great for the family. Ben ...
