Night At The Museum Review

Overall Rating

Night at the Museum is a fun, family-friendly, entertaining film that people of all ages should enjoy - films like this don't come along very often anymore and I think it's a crying shame. It's the same type of film as The Goonies - a mixture of fantasy, adventure, action and comedy that you can just sit down and thoroughly enjoy.

The special effects are great and the cast is brilliant - Owen Wilson and Steve Coogan pretty much steal the show, but Ben Stiller gives a good performance and it's great to see the legend that is Dick Van Dyke back on the big screen where he belongs. Obviously it's not as good as The Goonies (because nothing is) but in the screening I attended there were people of all ages from young children to grandparents and every one of them was having a good time which in my books is the mark of a good film. Not a masterpiece and it probably wont be winning any Oscars but I still wholehartedly recommend it if you're looking for a couple of hours of escapist fun for you or your entire family.
