Night At The Museum (DVD)

Night at the Museum starring Ben stiller in my opinion is the family film of 2007. Who knows maybe they will release toy story 3 or a second monsters inc. but after watching this movie no comedy released this year comes close to this one. It is fast pacing and gets right to point, all the way through you are entertained and each and every character is a great deal more than adequate. Synopsis! The movie starts off clearly portraying the appalling ...
...to pick the scripts like Night at the Museum. Robin Williams plays the wild yet wise Teddy Roosevelt and yet again brings comedy, sighing moments and exceptionally serious flashes of genius. Robin Williams has an amazing background in movies the vary from, Flubber (A classic) and Mrs. Doubtfire (an outstanding family movie), all of these films portray an amazing guy and a fantastic family man. His roles in family films always fit his image, humour ...

Having been quickly shown the ropes by the old guards, Larry settles down to his first night on the job, expecting that it would be a piece of cake. But when a huge dinosaur skeleton magically comes to life, Larry's whole night turns to chaos. Unbeknown ...
...which revolves around the retiring night guards. For these guards are well aware of what goes on in the museum of a night time but another side effect of the Egyptian tableau is that it makes these sprightly old fellows feel much younger and so they want the tableau for themselves. What I really liked was the fact that having watched the trailer I was completely unaware of this part of the film and it was a wonderful surprise. Plus, it was brilliantly ...

Review of Night At The Museum (DVD)

== 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. When I saw the line up Ben Stiller, Robin Williams, Ricky Gervais, Steve Coogan, Owen Wilson and even old timers Dick Van Dyke and Mickey Rooney, I just knew that this was a film I wanted to watch. Night at the Museum opens with sad sack Larry Daley (Ben Stiller) about to need to relocate. ...
...he will become the new night guard. Cecil, Gus and Reginald (Dick Van Dyke, Mickey Rooney and Bill Cobbs) are the three aging and eccentric guards who are being downsized in favour of young Larry. What Larry doesn't know is that these three men have been holding down a considerably more complicated stronghold than anyone could have imagined after the sun goes down on the museum. Larry is about to find out that being a night guard is less about peace ...

...to replace the three old night guards (headed up by Dick Van Dyke) with one younger one. Larry thinks the job will be a breeze and ignores the list of instructions the guards give him and the advice not to let anything in or out of the museum and settles down for an easy night. However the one thing the guards forgot to tell him was that at night everything in the museum comes to life. In a museum of dinosaurs, wild animals, cowboys, soldiers, cavemen ...
...Can Larry keep everything under control? What is the museum's secret? Can Larry keep his job and persuade his ex-wife he is responsible? Can he keep all the exhibits from damaging each other or from escaping. Well if I told you it would spoil the film, you'll just need to watch to find out. The film is based on an idea that many people (especially children) might have when walking round a museum. You might think I bet its scary here at night, or ...

...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 ...

It was a pleasant surprise that having watched it last night I actually found myself liking it. It's a good family comedy, which relies on a lot of obvious types of humour but would provide entertainment for both adults and kids alike. Although the exhibits coming to life might be a little shocking ...

I saw Night at the Museum when it was first released on DVD and along with the rest of my family really, really enjoyed it. It was something new and different and a real pleasure to watch. So when my brother got the DVD for Christmas we were all quite happy to sit down and watch it again and I must say that the film was just as enjoyable the second time around. Night at the Museum was released in 2006 and directed by Shawn Levy. It stars Ben Stiller ...

Although missing problem isn't the right word… alive should just about do it. Larry quickly realises that everything in the museum comes to life at ...

Soon Larry's having to deal with rivalries between Romans and cowboys, dummies that keep re-enacting the American Civil War, a mischievous capuchin monkey and a T-Rex that knows why it's at the top of the food chain. But with only a waxwork of US President Teddy Roosevelt ...
...and save his job? I'm not a great fan of director Shawn Levy, after the abomination that was "The Pink Panther" remake and this film doesn't really bring him up in my estimations. Though a serviceable family movie, it doesn't have the requisite sense of wonder to make it a great one. Despite an ordinary Joe finding himself in extraordinary circumstances, Larry accepts the bizarre happenings too readily and you never get a real sense of how freaked ...

The coming alive of all the exhibits in the museum is done so well that I could almost have believed that it was real. The dinosaur skeleton was amazing - in one scene we see it chasing a stick that Larry throws for it, and it was exactly like a dog. Absolutely fantastic and full marks to the team that put all this together. Writers Robert Garant and Thomas Lennon ...

When he goes to the job centre, he gets offered a job at the Natural History Museum as a night watchman.

Among the characters Larry has to deal with are Rexy the Tyrannosaurus Rex (actually a skeleton of an old T Rex dinosaur), who acts like a pet dog and loves playing a good old game of 'fetch' with one of his own bones, Attila the Hun, an army of miniature roman soldiers and cowboys and Teddy Roosevelt. Suffice to say, he has his work cut out for him. This movie features a number of good, well known actors, ...

Of course no one believes Larry about the exhibits coming to life because they think it seems far fetched. The plot does develop though ...
