Ben Stiller faces a shift he'll remember as the exhibits at the museum he works come to life late one night.
Night at the Museum is a wonderfully brilliant idea, similar to Toy Story in that at night everything comes alive in the museum where Larry Daley (Ben Stiller) has just found a job. The idea works well, as Larry struggles to understand and contain the riotous occupants. A strong performance from Robin Williams as President Theodore Roosevelt helps to offer assistance to the bewildered Larry, while Ricky Gervais turns in a comic performance as the museum boss who can't get his point across properly. Steve Coogan and Owen Wilson provide a brilliant double-act as warring leaders, with Wilson's standard charm making for some funny scenes. Dick van Dyck, Mickey Rooney and Bill Cobbs provide another problem for Larry, as he struggles to understand and contain all the wonderfully bizarre characters.
There are some very funny moments, including Larry getting to grips with a conniving monkey. The film-makers seemed to have aimed this movie at the 'weekend dad' in particular as Larry struggles to impress his son, and in this way it feels a little cliched. The film is very much film-making by numbers, with very few plot surprises, but don't let this put you off. Overall, this movie can be loved by children and adults alike and a sequel is being released May 2009, so take the time to enter a magical place where for 105 minutes you can enjoy the ride.

Comedy 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 have 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, Nick (Jake Cherry). On 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 (Patrick Gallagher) 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 turns to a wax replica of President Roosevelt (Williams) for a little advice on keeping things intact.
