Editorial Review:
Ben Stiller leads an all-star cast including Robin Williams and Dick Van Dyke in this hilarious blockbuster hit. When good-hearted dreamer Larry Daley (Stiller) is hired as night watchman at the Museum of Natural History, he soon discovers that an ancient curse brings all the exhibits to life after the sun sets. Suddenly, Larry finds himself face-to-face with a frisky T. rex skeleton, tiny armies of Romans and cowboys and a mischievous monkey who taunts him to the breaking point. But with the help of President Teddy Roosevelt (Williams), Larry may just figure out a way to control the chaos and become a hero in his son's eyes. Boasting jaw-dropping special effects and laugh-out-loud moments, Night at the Museum is your ticket to nonstop fun!
Description of Night at the Museum [Blu-ray]:
An irresistible concept meets computer-generated wonders in Night at the Museum, inspired by a 1993 children's book by Milan Trenc. Ben Stiller stars as Larry Daley, an underachieving inventor waiting for his ship to come in while getting evicted from one apartment after another for lack of funds. Larry's son needs some stability, so the well-meaning ne'er-do-well takes a job as night watchman at New York City's Museum of Natural History. What the soon-to-retire guards (Dick Van Dyke, Mickey Rooney, Bill Cobbs) don't tell him is that an ancient pharaoh's tablet in the museum causes everything on display to come to life at night. Thus, Larry meets representations of Teddy Roosevelt, Attila the Hun, fire-worshipping cavemen, and Roman Empire soldiers, and learns to cope with an excitable T-Rex and man-eating, ancient animals. The film might have left things at that, but an added story element gives Night at the Museum some extra urgency and excitement, especially for kids: Larry becomes responsible for keeping this nightly miracle going and preventing anything in the museum from dying due to exposure to sunrise. Computer effects, as well as wildly imaginative costumes and makeup, help make the film appeal to the 8-year-old in everyone. Director Shawn Levy (The Pink Panther) works with a hugely talented cast, including Robin Williams, Owen Wilson, Ricky Gervais, Carla Gugino, and Steve Coogan. --Tom Keogh

Stills from Night at the Museum Night at the Museum [Blu-ray] Reviews:
Funny! 
2009-10-18 - This movie was funny. Kept adults and teens interested too. Good cast! A little rude, but overall good.
Night at the Museum - A Movie Worth Owning 
2009-10-14 - This movie is one of few on the market that presents a father's love for his child in a mature fashion. The comedy is great and sensible. The struggle between good and evil is simple and the use of museum characters in that struggle is wonderful. This is a movie that is worth owning and multiple viewing.
Dumb Dumb Want Gum Gum 
2009-10-08 - This has to be ben stiller's best movie ever. this movie is awesome and is really funny. this is a must see for everyone
great family movie 
2009-09-29 - Wholesome movies are scarce nowadays - even animated films have inappropriate humor. Although predictable, this movie is delightful to watch and the graphics are wonderful.
This is a great addition to our movie library.
