Advantages: Watching Dick Van Dyke dancing off the junk in his trunk
Disadvantages: None for me

NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM FILM ONLY REVIEW Night of the Museum is a 2006 film that was adapted from the 1993 children's book by Milan Trenc of the same name.

He has been invited to be the key speaker at a function to honour Wendy, who's now an elderly lady who's devoted her life to helping orphans and Great ...
...a message from Captain James Hook pinned to the door. Hook wants a showdown with Peter and instructs him to return to Neverland to save his children. Peter of course, cannot remember Hook, and although Wendy tries to explain, he refuses to believe that he is Peter Pan. He calls the police, who put the disappearance down to a prank, based on the family connection to J. M. Barrie and the Peter Pan 'stories'. During the night, Peter attempts to sleep ...
