. Its narrative is just pitched toward adolescent fantasy and silly, frequently obvious shenanigans to a hearty degree, and with no sort of consistent inner logic the movie tilts toward fleeting entertainment, with no inherent replay value or strongly fel

Not everything on display is sufficiently alive in this museum-set comedy adventure.

it's one of those high concept childhood fantasy films that will stay in your heart long after watching it

What promises to be a fun Spielbergian romp for the whole family is a bit on the bland and mediocre side.

It's a better than average CGI-fest, more often silly than funny. But it makes some good points about courage, self-respect, and the importance of learning about history.

Individual set pieces work nicely, but the story bogs down and certain subplots are dropped almost entirely. ... NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM had the potential to be so much more and in the hand of a real visionary, it could have been something. As it is, it's a p

about as distracting and inoffensive as Jumanji before it, and heck, it might even teach kids that history can be fun!

Largely mirthless comedy, a variation on those old stories of kids' toys coming to life at night or when the nursery is deserted.

Stiller correctly plays straight man to the army of CGI beasties, but also to some of the world's best comics.
