        History comes alive in the family comedy Night at the Museum. When Larry Daley takes a job as a night security guard at the Museum of Natural History he gets more than he bargained for, as the exhibits come to life every night at closing. Starring Ben Stiller, Robin Williams, Owen Wilson, Carla Gugino, and Dick Van Dyke, the film has a great cast. And the comedy is especially well-done, with some clever sketches and fun satire. Additionally, the story has a positive message about responsibility and overcoming adversary. Lighthearted and incredibly entertaining, Night at the Museum is an enjoyable film for all ages.

        Non-threatening. Non-offensive. Non-intersting but somehow still pleasant.

        An unfortunately dull comedy with an interesting concept but a flatline plot.

        Children may like it, but certainly all the adults would hate. Stiller's acting skill helped the film immensely but the superficial script and over used CGI didn't help it. Rami Malek on the other hand is a promising young actor that had a good performance, overally the film is a cheap entertainment for children
