The halls of the Natural History Museum are lined with the most amazing things – wild-eyed prehistoric creatures, fierce ancient warriors, long lost tribes, African animals and history's legendary heroes – all frozen forever in time. Or... are they? In the action-adventure-comedy, Night at the Museum, the new night guard Larry (Ben Stiller) is about to discover that when the visitors go home at the end of the day, the real adventure begins – as the museum's residents come out to play.
I enjoyed this movie. I didn't absolutely love it but it was definitely worth watching. It was a lot like a Jumangi type thing where the effects alone keep you interesteted. You can never go wrong with something like that as long as the effects are cool enough. It's also one of those movies that you pretty much know exactly what you are going to get from watching the preview. People in the museum come to life . . . . something is going to get messed up . . . . new guy is going to have to fix it. You could just sit down and watch and not have to think too much at all. The only thing that kind of turned me off towards it was that I expected it to be funnier. However, the kids loved it and that alone is worth making the trip to theaters at this time of year.
I would recommend this movie to everyone . . . . especially someone with kids. It's the best family movie out there for the holidays right now.
