Night at the Museum

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: 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 ...

Pros: cast, concept, jokes, & Van Dyke pulling Karate on Stiller!
Cons: The mini Cowboys VS mini Romans is a bit obnoxious.

Having seen the reviews of a running T-Rex, I was interested in seeing this movie. A friend bought it and I had to beg to watch it. I sat down with a bowl of popcorn and waited for the T-Rex. This movie stars Ben Stiller as a dead-beat dad down on ...

Pros: Funny on an adult level, but mild enough for kids of any age
Cons: None at all

I anxiously awaited the release of this movie onto dvd, and we were not disappointed. An excellent cast.....Robin Williams is a gem as Teddy Roosevelt, and Ben Stiller manages to make his character, and everything crazy he goes through, very believable. ...

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: 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: Good cast and very clever animation.
Cons: Not quite as funny as I thought.

Every time that you team up Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson you know that you are in for some serious laughs. We watched this movie about 2 weeks ago and thought it was not only clever but extremely funny. Robin Williams plays a very good role comparable ...

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: Nice theme
Cons: Boring and not very funny

I am a huge Ben Stiller fan so I was pretty excited when his newest movie, Night at the Museum, came out. My family and I went to see it almost immediately. We are also Owen Wilson fans as well. A perfect combination to create yet another funny movie, ...

Pros: Cameos of real dinosaurs - Dick Van Dyke, Mickey Rooney and Bill Cobbs
Cons: Pointless storyline and fake dinosaur

This movie sort of resembles "Jumanji" with all the animals running wild, but at least "Jumanji" had a storyline. "Night at the Museum" is a pointless journey about history coming alive and how father-son relationships can be restored because of ...

Pros: No cursing, good family oriented material, funny
Cons: Slow at times, but not very often, picks up quick.

I was skeptical about watching Night at the Museum, at first worried that it may be too infantile for me. However, I adore Ben Stiller, the lead character, so I decided to give it a try. I'm so thrilled I did. I loved this movie. The plot has great ...

Pros: Lots of fun great family movie
Cons: slight rude talk may not be suitable for children under school age.

I saw this movie in the theater I thought it was very funny although the beginning seemed to be really slow and you start to wonder when something is going to happen. Ben Stiller's character placed a divorced father trying to get a job and live a more ...

Pros: Great special effects, very very funny movie.
Cons: Robin Williams did not have as big of a role as I would have liked.

A Night at the Museum is a wonderful film. My boyfriend who is SO not into comedies in theater, thought this was hysterical. I loved every minute of it. I was thrilled to see a movie with actors such as Mickey Rooney, Dick Van Dyke, and Bill Cobbs, ...

Pros: Hilarious, silly, entertaining
Cons: If you're very technical, the over-the-top things might bother you

This was a fantastic and humorous movie! I laughed from the beginning to the end of the movie. The title of the movie does the movie no justice because it makes one think that it would not be as humorous as a movie as it is. There are not many characters in the movie, but you enjoy laughing at the ones who are in it so much that you don't really notice that the scenes are mainly in the museum. It's a movie for the single parent who are down on their luck in finding employment and dealing with his or her kids after the divorce; that is the underlying theme. Even children will enjoy this movie no matter what age they are. My favorite character was "Dexter", the monkey in the movie. It's an unrealistic and silly movie, but that is the entire point of the movie. It does help tremendous for the audience to know U.S. history. In a way, it is a good way to test your children's knowledge of history; although the movie doesn't truly stick to the history. I can't find anything bad to say about this movie.

Pros: Creative kids movie. Loved the effects!
Cons: A little too long.

I went to see this movie with my children based on encouraging words from other families. It's a fun movie to see with kids and although the story is textbook (slacker parent comes thru for the son) the overall movie is new. It is an imaginative view of the museum and gets you talking about going to visit one. My daughter can't stop asking to read up about some of the historical characters because they are presented in an interesting manner...and because she recognized some from school. This is stuff you just don't get any more, with any kinds of children's entertainment. And although there is potential for scary stuff, nothing is too scary for my 5 year old. Everything has a humorous twist.
Totally worth it. Even my husband put away his Blackberry to watch it.
