An irresistible concept meets computer-generated wonders in Night at the Museum, inspired by a 1993 children's book by Milan Trenc. Ben Stiller stars as Larry Daley, an underachieving inventor waiting for his ship to come in while getting evicted from one apartment after another for lack of funds. Larry's son needs some stability, so the well-meaning ne'er-do-well takes a job as night watchman at New York City's Museum of Natural History. What the soon-to-retire guards (Dick Van Dyke, Mickey Rooney, Bill Cobbs) don't tell him is that an ancient pharaoh's tablet in the museum causes everything on display to come to life at night. Thus, Larry meets representations of Teddy Roosevelt, Attila the Hun, fire-worshipping cavemen, and Roman Empire soldiers, and learns to cope with an excitable T-Rex and man-eating, ancient animals. The film might have left things at that, but an added story element gives Night at the Museum some extra urgency and excitement, especially for kids: Larry becomes responsible for keeping this nightly miracle going and preventing anything in the museum from dying due to exposure to sunrise. Computer effects, as well as wildly imaginative costumes and makeup, help make the film appeal to the 8-year-old in everyone. Director Shawn Levy (The Pink Panther) works with a hugely talented cast, including Robin Williams, Owen Wilson, Ricky Gervais, Carla Gugino, and Steve Coogan. --Tom Keogh

I was entertained. I generally chose movies to be entertained and this one definately filled the bill. Although it might have been nice to see it on the big screen, it was a bargain to wait to see it at home. The plot was a bit weak as were the characters, but a good time anyway.
A fun film I enjoy this film. Glad to have it widescreen. Stiller doing the SAME ROLE UNDER A DIFFERENT NAME like in Mary & both the Meet The Films. Put upon, getting even his way role. DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT STILLER!! BORING!! I did NOT like the film for him.
Robin was very good in his role as teddy Roosevelt. Needed MUCH MORE OF HIM. Glad to see Dick Van Dick & Mickey Rooney. I HATED Ricky Gervais's CHARACTER. And, this is the only thing I have ever seen him in. Now, I expected MUCH MORE from this special edition package. No real Making of special. Stiller & Dick were spoken to in 1 piece. WHERE THE HECK WAS ROBIN OR MICKEY ROONEY?
Good but should have been great package. If you are a stiller fan you will like it. A fan of Robin's like myself you will be disappointed in the extras.
Good job, do better next time film makers with the DVD package.
funny! The acting, the special effects, and writing are all great! It's so funny! And I like the way the plot about Lary trying please his son and ex-wife is connected to the museum plot.
Great Movie! This movie is great for the whole family. I brought it for my daughter and found that I actually watch it more than she does. The movie was in a very good condition, the price was great, I definitely give my thumbs up.
freddy Krueger is funnier than ben stiller seriously, ben stiller should retire from comedy because i definatly believe its not for him, the only reason people think his movies were funny or even successful is because everything else in his movies were funny except for him, as in he had so much help in his movies to make him a star.
His personality is definatly not funny at all, he is nothing like other amazing comedians like robin williams(which was one of few good things in this movie),eddie murphey or even action stars like jackie chan who arn't even comedians but still do have a good sense of humor without having to try too hard.
ben is a very bad comedian but he's not the worst, that would have to be a tie between tom green and that guy from saturday night live (forgot his name, maybe its a good thing too)
so ben stiller, maybe you should be in a horror movie or something because i found "a nightmare on elm street" so much funnier than any of your movies.
