It isn’t until Larry’s first night on duty that he discovers he is in for much more than he originally signed up for. But will he be able to keep control of the lively museum that comes to life at night thanks to an ancient curse? Will he be able to hang ...
...and the trio of previous night guards are given some fairly witty one liners as well. Stiller films are filled with easy humour that will appeal across the board. The colourful use of language -not to be confused with bad language, the ability to laugh at himself mercifully a well-timed script are part of his repeated success. >>>Acting<<< With an incredible ensemble cast which sees comedic legends like Mickey Rooney and Robin Williams teamed with ...

Frantically he calls one of the previous nightguards (Cecil) who simply tells him to read the instruction manual, it says, "Throw the bone." Soon after he meets the Capuchin monkey, Dexter, who pinches his keys and rips the instruction manual to shreds which isn't very sufficient for Larry. ...

Advantages: many well known actors star in the film and many extras on the DVD
Disadvantages: The sountrack isn't great

...Night at the museum is such a simple idea which works really well. A museum which comes to life and a night guard (Ben Stiller) has to cope with these problems and the results are hilarious. The film is great itself but the DVD has lots of great extras including deleted scenes with optional commentary, behind the scenes, interactive DVD games, McFly music video, cast and crew commentarys, trailers and much more. The film also stars some great cast including Ben Stiller as the lead role 'Larry Daley'. The Music is good but far from memorable and the film doesnt have many special effects but then again it would'nt suit the film. The story line is very good but the film really stands out because of the mass of well known actors who star in the film. Overall a must buy.... Read review

Advantages: hilariously funny
Disadvantages: needs a bit mre of a story line

...Night At The Museum. The Film: This film is about a man who needs a job so he doesnt have to leave the city (in which his son live with his mum and step dad). So he goes to the local history museum where actually gets a job and meets a beautiful woman who is obsessed with sakachuia the indian woman from like centuries agos. When he does his first nightshift it doesnt go quite as planned.Everything comes to life even the t-rex bones known as rexy.So he gets n a bit of a pickle because he has to make sure all of the statues replicas ect are all back safely before sunrise and make sure none of them get out of the museum. i recommend this film to young children who really love a laugh and the same with adults...

Advantages: funny, a film all can enjoy
Disadvantages: none.

...I thought this was a brilliant film with a great storyline. Ben Stiller is the main charater in this film and he plays a character called larry, larry keeps trying to invent things without success so his ex partner tells him he has to get a proper job otherwise his son wont be able to stay over his house, anyway he looks for a job and he finds a vancency in a museum and gets the job, but its not what he expected, the musuem come to life at night. I found this film a barrel of laughs and think its great for the hule family, its one the whole family can enjoy. i would recoment this film to anyone who enjoys comedys but i also think people who enjoy all kinds of diffrent films would enjoy this movie. I think this is a film for all ages.... Read review
