Night at the MuseumThe new night watchman at New York's Museum of Natural History finds that the job comes with more responsibility than he ever dreamed in this wild fantasy comedy directed by Shawn Levy and starring Ben Stiller, Robin Williams, Mickey Rooney, and Dick Van Dyke. Larry Daley (Stiller) is a kind-hearted dreamer who always knew that he was destined for greatness, he just never quite knew how. None of his ideas or inventions has panned out, so with a heavy heart, he takes a regular job as a lowly graveyard-shift security guard at the Museum of Natural History in order to provide a more stable life for himself and his ten-year-old son. His first night on the job, however, he finds that guardianship of the museum is far from stable -- at nightfall, an Egyptian spell brings the artifacts and wax figures to life! With Attila the Hun charging to war through the hallways, the diorama miniatures embroiled in a deadly feud, and a two-ton Tyrannosaurus Rex nagging to play fetch, Larry has half a mind to turn tail and run. On top of cleaning up after two million years of historical chaos every night, he also has to make sure that not a single museum piece leaves the building -- from the bratty Capuchin monkey in the African exhibit, to the life-sized Neanderthal in the prehistoric display -- because if morning light falls on an escaped artifact, it will turn to dust. Larry turns to a wax replica of President Roosevelt (Williams) for a little advice on keeping things in tact, but Teddy seems to think that a man of Larry's greatness needs little help. Larry isn't sure if the former commander in chief is right; this is hardly what he signed up for, but he can't pass up the chance to care for a museum where history really does come to life. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi.

Review For Night at the Museum | |
What a dull, nice movie, wrenched from a wild premise and battered into docility. Lisa Schwarzbaum-Entertainment Weekly A film that veers, often without much direction, between a family-friendly comic romp and an attempt to touch our souls with heartfelt emotion. Bill Zwecker-Chicago Sun-Times As mindless spectacle, this is reasonably entertaining. Jonathan Rosenbaum-Chicago Reader ... an aimless and riotous mess. Derek Adams-Time Out It's just so dopey. Richard Roeper-Ebert & Roeper Rarely has so much production value yielded so little in terms of audience engagement. Justin Chang-Variety This is a good example of Hollywood commercial calculation that actually pays off with a few entertainment dividends. It all seems very cold and calculated, and yet the film still turns out to be decently entertaining. Steve Biodrowski-Cinefantastique ...lightweight and inoffensive... David Nusair-Reel Film Reviews . Its narrative is just pitched toward adolescent fantasy and silly, frequently obvious shenanigans to a hearty degree, and with no sort of consistent inner logic the movie tilts toward fleeting entertainment, with no inherent replay value or strongly fel Brent Simon-IGN Movies Not everything on display is sufficiently alive in this museum-set comedy adventure. Anton Bitel-Film4 it's one of those high concept childhood fantasy films that will stay in your heart long after watching it Kevin Carr-7M Pictures What promises to be a fun Spielbergian romp for the whole family is a bit on the bland and mediocre side. James O'Ehley-Sci-Fi Movie Page The idea is ingenious. The execution? Not so much. Christopher Smith-Bangor Daily News (Maine) It's a better than average CGI-fest, more often silly than funny. But it makes some good points about courage, self-respect, and the importance of learning about history. Nell Minow-Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies Good idea. Bad execution. Robert Roten-Laramie Movie Scope With this cast, there should be more laughs, and that blame falls partially on the script, but equally on how awfully Levy paces the film. Brian Tallerico-UGO Dark night of the soul is more like it. Rob Mackie-Guardian [UK] This pastiche comedy is a piecemeal procedure in Hollywood excess. Cole Smithey-ColeSmithey.com Just like 'Sack-a ja-we-a', let us guide you to a little treasure at the museum. Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone-TheMovieChicks.com You know what? There are few better antidotes to intense Oscar-wanna-be releases and treacly holiday throwaways than a fun, high-concept starring 3-4 generations of comedians. Yeah, I said it. Karina Montgomery-Cinerina Overall this was a good show for the kids and family. Vince Koehler-Entertainment Spectrum 'Night at the Museum' has a setup that's so juicy, it's easy to forgive the film when it falls short of its potential. Dan Lybarger-eFilmCritic.com A idéia central é suficientemente interessante para prender nosso interesse durante a maior parte do tempo, transformando o projeto em uma diversão inofensiva, ainda que burocrática. Pablo Villaca-Cinema em Cena Individual set pieces work nicely, but the story bogs down and certain subplots are dropped almost entirely. ... NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM had the potential to be so much more and in the hand of a real visionary, it could have been something. As it is, it's a p Ted Murphy-Murphy's Movie Reviews about as distracting and inoffensive as Jumanji before it, and heck, it might even teach kids that history can be fun! Mike Sage-Peterborough This Week Largely mirthless comedy, a variation on those old stories of kids' toys coming to life at night or when the nursery is deserted. Philip French-Observer [UK] | |
