Night At The Museum (Review)

Dex~! Quit peeing on me~! I need to do this review here...

Now I would really love to visit our National Museum after watching this one. Its a super cool effort...A few tiny stories, a bit of history, throw in a fair amount of animals, some broken family politics...Ben sure made the museum seem cool again. And it is~!

Yes Dex? Yes...yes, you are cool too...now go pass this here gum-gum to that Dumb-dumb at the end of the hallway...Thanks.

Where were we? Owh yeah...This movie tells a story of Larry wanting to keep his son. The ex-wife is not the mean sort and everything is very civilised. He just can't seem to hold a permanant stable job....which is stipulated in the joint custody thing. Anyhow yadda-yadda-yadda....Ben's character got this job as a night guard at the local museum. Boring....but it pays the bills.

Gimme...a sec....Jed~!!!...stop looking under Octavious's skirt~

Sheeshh...minatures....so...but there is a plot to rob him from keeping his son. Well, at least the old guards want to ruin Larry and make away with the loot but more importantly this ancient egyptian tablet which is actually the cause for everything in the museum to come to life everynight.

Nothing comes to a tragic end but how he get about into saving his job and the museum at the same time is classic a Disney plot with Ben's funny bones. It's not new but its a whole lotta fun. Ben Stiller makes really good comedies...and this is a classic family friendly one. How it seamlessly blends history into the equation is a big plus too...now if only our museums here puts a bit more marketing effort.

Now would you excuse me please...apparently the Neanderthals are stealing Rexy's bones for tools.
