Review: A Night at the Museum


Larry Daley (Ben Stiller) takes a night guard position at the Museum of Natural History where after sunset, the exhibits come to life.

Just a fun movie with a lot of laughs and a cute story. I absolutely love the whole premise of this movie, things coming to life at night. The cavemen want fire, the huns are attacking, the lions want to eat you, the small dioramas are trying to invade each other. Enter Jedidiah (Owen Wilson), the cowboy who's at odds with Octavius (Steve Coogan), the Roman. Dick Van Dyke and Mickey Rooney are great as the old night guards, and of course Robin Williams as Teddy Roosevelt is always wonderful. Be sure to catch Brad Garrett as the voice of the Easter Island head.

My favorite parts of the movie:

what comes to life
old night guards
Rexy
Jedidiah and Octavius

5 out of 5 stars.
