Night at the Museum Movie Review

In Night at the Museum, Larry Daley (Ben Stiller) is out of work, recently unmarried, and a sad excuse for a father. He finally gets a job as a night security guard in the Museum of Natural History. Just when he thinks all is well and the job will be a breeze; Larry (Stiller) finds himself confronting, rather timidly, a T-rex skeleton that acts like a puppy, tiny armies from ancient cultures, cowboys and a roguish monkey whose lot in life is to harass Larry. All of this is because of a curse that brings the Night at the Museum to life when the sun goes down.

Just when all could be lost, President Teddy Roosevelt (Robin Williams), helps Larry (Stiller) figure out a way to control the chaos and become a hero in his son’s eyes. All of the chaos and mayhem is peaked when previous night watchmen ( Dick Van Dyke, Mickey Rooney, and Bill Cobbs) steal the artifact that will save or lose the day.

Night at the Museum is a culmination of cultures and eras that come together for a fun filled, action packed, save the day type of movie. Stiller and Williams truly deliver and hold true to their style.
