Full-text transcript of movie review of Night at the Museum 1

Well, as you all know by now, the third one is getting released next month, so, of course, you all knew eventually I was going to get to the original films.

So let’s get it started.

Night at the museum stars Ben Stiller, of course, as a struggling dad, he’s struggling to do a lot of things, find a job and keep his kid basically because his wife, ex-wife is trying to move if he doesn’t find a job or something like that, and she’s going to take his son with her basically. So in order to save that relationship with this son, he takes an offbeat job at the Museum of Natural History in New York City. Unfortunately for them, the original guards who are now older now and basically are getting ready to retire doesn’t tell him that night the museum and all of its inhabitants come to life. Yeah, how you may say they come to life by this tablet, if you will, that when the centerpiece is turned to the center, they all come to life. When you turn it into the middle A. It’s like a fail safe device. OK, and Dick Van Dyke acts as a trainee and of course, the film’s main villain, if you will, because Dick Van Dyke and crew hatches a plan to not only take the tablet with them because in a sense, it kind of regains their youth in a way. But also, of course, to get him, I guess, fired this movie.

I remember seeing this movie in theaters back in New Year’s Day of twenty seven believe nowadays almost twenty fifteen to twenty seven was nearly eight years ago.

Eight years ago.

Think about that, because I sure as I am thinking about it right now, what doing this review eight years ago I saw this movie. Holy crap.

Oh wow.

So yes, this movie, Ben Stiller, he is a very hit-and-miss actor for me. I like him some things. I hate him and others I hate the Heartbreak Kid. I like Meet the Fockers and Meet the Parents.

Small little fuckers, but I like his direction, too, I like his direction and Tropic Thunder, I like his direction.

And the cable guy. Yes, that is one of his movies. And guess who’s a producer on the cable? Guy Judd Apatow. Yeah, but anyway, back to this movie. So, yes, when I found out he was going to be on a movie like this for Kids PG rated, and it’s like, oh, boy, this should be this probably wouldn’t be good. It probably would not be good at all. But you know what I actually enjoy now at the museum. OK, now there are some things in this movie. The movie is supposed to be a family comedy. It is a family movie. The comedy is kind of hit and miss because you do kind of go pick and choose which ones are funny. You know, to a little kid, everything is gonna be funny. Even stuff the humans do some stuff is like that’s not really funny and all that stuff.

But the casting makes up for it because the enthusiasm of the cast is what hold this movie together. OK, like Robin Williams. Theodore Roosevelt. Awesome. OK, what’s his name. Owen Wilson and Steve Coogan as two rival guys are their own clans. Awesome. OK, even the guy who plays like a Joe where we wear whatever is pretty good, even on the who the hell she is.

Oh Carla Gugino. She’s good, she is good, good, my God, she’s hot anyway.

Dick Van Dyke, man, the casting is just great. OK, just reminiscing about everybody in this movie is it will take forever. OK, so the casting is awesome. So the acting is great. No cop, no complaints there. Again, the comedy is hit and miss, but I do like the little the dinosaur, the T-Rex Rex in this movie. He was kind of cool, kind of more of like a dog along the lines of that. But yes, he was still kind of cool. And Ricky Gervais as mainly the owner of Belief or the boss of Ben Stiller. And this movie, he’s not funny in this movie. He’s funny when the script or whatever he has is done right for him. But in this movie, he could have been anybody else. He could have been just anybody else. He was not very interesting in a ways. He was more interesting and Grand Theft Auto for that. He was in this movie. So yeah. Oh, no, no, no. The museum is an entertaining movie for the kiddies and everybody else is really for them anyways.

But I still enjoy the most part of everything else about this movie. Again, some of the comedy falls flat, but when the comic is perfect, you do get a little chuckle every now and then. I don’t laugh out loud from these type of movies, but because, you know, I am older so they don’t strike me the way they would a kid. If I was still a kid, maybe I would laugh at everything but says I’m damn near 30 years old. Yeah, it’s in parts for me. That’s why I’m going to give the museum a B plus. Let me know what you guys think about in the museum down below. You like it. Did you hate it. And I’ll see you guys in the second one.
