Surprisingly charming and funny on a level that adults can appreciate. The visuals and special effects that accompany the comedy are equally fun and well-done. |

I watched this film with high hopes, given the amount of Box Office it generated, and I was disappointed. I was willing to buy into the fact that the museum came to life each night, but a I was unwilling to overlook the fact that it automatically restored to its pristine condition by morning. Throw in every predicable plot point imaginable (divorced father wins back his son's love, down-and-out schmuck impresses and gets the girl, just to name a couple) and I guess you have all the makings of a $300 million dollar film...
At least there was no smoking! The film earned a SmokeScreeners rating of 4 Butts! http://tinyurl.com/lm9bqr |

It may be a bit scattered and not have lived up to its potential to become a classic but I had fun watching this movie. There's something about the tone of it that made me smile from beginning to end. I liked how the filmmakers instilled some sort of story here rather than just slap together special effects in order for it to look grand. It somehow captured the feel of wonder I experience whenever I visit a museum. Ben Stiller is funny as usual and his antics never get old. Although the film reminded me of a toned down version of "Jumanji," it is original in its own way, which was refreshing. I really have nothing to complain about because I thought it was consistent--it might not have been funny every scene but it's also not only funny in the beginning and boring at the end, or vice-vers... |
