Night at the Museum

Pros: Great for a holiday escape especially for kids
Cons: A little stupid and silly in some parts

I actually saw this film on an IMAX dome screen at a museum, Discovery Place in Charlotte.

The movie was decent. Our local newspaper's critic called it an ok brain break for the holiday season, and that is basically what it is. It is definitely good for families with only one scene that might seem even stupid and ridiculous to a 6 year old.

The premise is as simple as a Saturday morning cartoon. Stiller's character takes a job as a night guard at a museum. Every thing comes to life at night because of a table that arrived 50+ years ago. Some of the CGI was good and most was flawlessly seamed into the movie. It was a wonderful treat to see these scenes in IMAX with 12000 watts of sound.

Kids will definitely enjoy this, parents will chuckle a couple of times, and the kids might even learn a little bit of history, like how the South ended up with NASCAR ;)

Pros: The cast
Cons: None

I love Ben Stiller and was anxious to see this movie because of the promos.

The story could have progressed with any actors, but to include Dick Van Dyke, Mickey Rooney and Bill Cobbs was wonderful. Ricky Gervais was not in the movie for long, but did a terrific job. The best part was having Anne Meara (half of one of my favorite comedy groups of all time), Ben's mom, as the worker at the unemployment office.

I also enjoyed how the story unfolded. I had no idea what was going to happen next.

This is a real feel-good movie and I am glad I saw it in the theater. It was fun for all and a very enjoyable night for my whole family.

Pros: Great for the entire family lots of action and laughter...
Cons: NONE

This was a great movie for the entire family.  With the characters, animals all coming to life when the museum closed and Ben's character was the onlly one to see all that.  It was so cool!!

If you want to laugh and be amazed at the action, and the so life like events.  Check this one out great for home video collection or as a gift!
I think if you want to share some adventure with your kids by having a movie night this is definitely the one to watch... 

You will also learn so much about history of events you may not have throught about.  I've watched it a few times.

I LOVED WATCHING THIS MOVIE!!! Night of the Museum

Pros: Captures the innocent imagaination of a child.
Cons: Couldn't really think of any cons.

I tend to be really fussy about movies I like. I was really bored one day and watched this movie. I LOVED it. It's so simple and childlike. It struck a chord with me somehow. I like the Easter Island Statue but I also like how Jedidiah was able to vocalize his feelings. I just like that it's a movie I can relax to and laugh at. I decided to buy it because of it's simplicity and the innocence and imagination it presents. I could imagine a child wondering what happens at the museum at night. It's perfect.  It also has made me want to research history because I don't know alot about Attila the Hun, Easter Island or anything like that.  I like the Easter Island Statue saying "You give me Gum Gum."  For some reason, that is my favorite part of the movie.  I like the silly rhyming that he does.   It just endears him to me.  He's just an innocent character and I like it. 

Pros: wonderful animation
Cons: better story line

Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson play magnificent parts together because their senses of humor bounce off each other which really make it fun. Ben Stiller plays that part of a watch guard for the night shift at the New York’s Museum of Natural History where everything isn’t really what it seems. Being the guard for the night shift really doesn’t sound like to much fun until things unexpectedly start to come to life. There is some great computer animation that really makes you feel you are apart of the action happening. Ben Stiller is supposedly a loser dad who can’t do anything right and wants to show his son a good time for once and he promises he won’t let him down. This movie was put together with great live-action which brought a cartoon feeling to the movie. It felt like an experience for me as Ben Stiller walked through the Natural History Museum during the day and night and how much different things where when the hours changed. I thought this was a great movie for kids and I think adult will also get a kick out of it because of such great humor.
